Where is the gate of hell

We can say that in the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan. Is actually the crater Darvaz, which is a big hole 60 meters in diameter and 20 meters deep, the hole appeared in 1971 for works that some Soviet geologists conducted. Geologists found that their stores and equipment were swallowed by the earth, they discovered an underground cave full of natural gas found at the fire. Since then burnt without pause, and provides a breathtaking spectacle.

Discover caves like this, it means a signal that can be created by the roof by high pressure gas or magma. Sometimes, with some frequency, the roof can collapse and gas or magma, or both may leave abruptly. It is believed that in Yellowstone Park in the U.S. (home to Yogi Bear) is one of the vaults, but huge in size, more than five kilometers in diameter. Yet if this is expected to explode violently with catastrophic global consequences

More worth studying geology to understand and prevent this kind of phenomena (possible slaughter). But calm, enjoy these days before they see the gate of hell.
