To gas crater Darwaza
A trip to mysterious gaz crater Darwaza, that is burning till now . The tour started from border post Shavat- Dashoguz. You can get to the border post 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.
