A drilling near Darvaza hit an underground cavern filled with gas. The explosion created a 70 meters wide crater; the stop the enormous flow of gas, it was decided to burn it, hoping that all gas will be burnt in few days. It was 1971, and the gas is still burning today. || Una trivellazione vicino a Darvaza toccò una caverna piena di gas naturale. L'esplosione creò un cratere di 70 metri; per arginare l'enorme fuoriuscita di gas, fu deciso di dargli fuoco, pensando che si sarebbe esaurito nel giro di qualche giorno. Era il 1971, e la fiamma brucia ancora oggi.

Thank you all :-)

“ purchases a steadycam! Even DIY! „

And I thought I saw who knows what visiting the crater of a dormant volcano called Stefanos who is on the Greek island of Kalymnos, Kos in front of ... in comparison to the "gates of hell" its sulfur fumaroles make you laugh ...
What I have seen here, teaches that nature has no limits ... a man works in a context where it is often detrimental guest ... but kept under tight control!
A beautiful text, a curious mind and sensitive, a great photographer ...

"It was decided to set him on fire," I guess the scene of the guy who had to do this, type the Uruk who have blasted the drain during the battle of Helm's Deep :)
