To gas crater Darwaza
Let's have a trip to mysterious gaz crater Darwaza, that is burning until now. The tour started from border post Shavat - Dashoguz. Get there you can from Khiva or Nukus.
In 1971 geologists accidentally found an underground cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of about 50-100 meters. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided to burn the gas. Geologists had hoped the fire would go out in a few days but it has been burning ever since. Locals have named the cavern The Gate to Hell, and the sight of the crater at night indeed gives a somewhat spooky feel.
