Ever wondered what happens to that gas you release from you rear? Well I have not, maybe you have. Maybe you believe that it all condenses in a cave in Uzbekistan on the outskirts of a small town called Darvaz. Maybe you are right!

Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://englishrussia.com/?p=1830"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/englishrussia.com/img/4CFDB650-8EE4-4DC8-A1D0-37BA0B9575DD" alt="door to hell in Darvaz 3" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://englishrussia.com/?p=1830"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/englishrussia.com/img/27485AFA-940F-4E44-9BC1-2AC877556466" alt="door to hell in Darvaz 4" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://englishrussia.com/?p=1830"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/englishrussia.com/img/ADD6FCF2-0AF7-4E37-9D7F-F28BE4694011" alt="door to hell in Darvaz 5" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://englishrussia.com/?p=1830"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/englishrussia.com/img/A019E360-918E-4DEC-BFCA-43A74FF61A03" alt="door to hell in Darvaz 6" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://englishrussia.com/?p=1830"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/englishrussia.com/img/BF356D12-D530-4209-BB98-A6AB46A0E6E5" alt="door to hell in Darvaz 7" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://englishrussia.com/?p=1830"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/englishrussia.com/img/23817E5D-B2D1-429E-BCC3-8E00EA0382A5" alt="door to hell in Darvaz 8" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://englishrussia.com/?p=1830"><P>And the video:</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/121401FB-AA2D-4A99-B5F4-FB0AE2F521BA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
