| The Door To Hell
Thirty-five years ago in Darvas, Uzbekistan some miners discovered an underground cavern full of natural gas.
So they did what all of us would want to do, and set it on fire.
It's still burning.

Wait. They were drilling for gas, then they found some gas, thought OH SHIT! and set it on fire?
Beautiful it may be, but one does wonder sometimes.

Has anyone used that place as a film set yet? If not, why not?
Here, looks like the local tourism trade is catching on. Anyone for a fire safari?

I also thought 'This should be used in a film'. Or at least an episode of Dr Who. They could have saved a fortune on CGI for 'The Satan Pit'. | |

Shame it's lacking in mountainous qualities. It'd have been a shoo-in as Mount Doom in LOTR otherwise. | |
