And people say the holocaust didn't happen. ****ers.
 
I still don't get why there are some pictures of the hole with no fire and they don't look old.

Perhaps it's too expensive to run it day and night?... Won't somebody please think of the children!!?

But seriously though, it's pretty bizzare...
 
Hi David,

Darvaza certainly was a beautiful place.

You are correct that there are three different craters that I took photos of. The largest crater was the burning crater - which has remained burning day and night for years. There were two other craters - the one with the tire had a muddy bottom and the other more of a water bottom but both still had gas bubbling up through the liquid.

Best.

That clears it up!
 
Excuse my stupidness, but how come me and most others here have never heard of this and its been going 35yrs? w.t.f? :eek:

Pretty bloody amazing though.
Well, its not exactly in Surrey. :p

I'm sure there's loads of interesting stuff around the world that we've never heard about.
 
Do you reckon the guy who suggested lighting it now regrets it?

You can imagine can't you, "it's just a bit of poison gas light it up and it will burn away by morning".
