Flaming Gas Crater (Night) / Turkmenistan, Darvaza

- Опубліковано 29 кві 2010
- The Derweze area is rich in natural gas. While drilling 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 Door to Hell.
Next to capturing the gas, flaring is safer and friendlier to the environment than releasing the methane into the atmosphere as methane is a relatively potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential of 72 (averaged over 20 years) or 25 (averaged over 100 years).
imagine something comes out from it screaming "It is time!"
Nice and quiet video, thanks buddy
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this wonder with us!
The next lord of the rings movie needs to be filmed here
Thank you :)
Why would you even want to put this out? It is amazing.
Amazing!
wow, this is awesome!
Great!
how many houses could a co. heat with that amount of gas?
Beautiful
Пришлось там побывать -захватывающее зрелище!
Ahaa, so this is the reason of global warming..
So this is where Moltres is
does it not rain here?
I bet that guy who threw is cigar in there 40 years ago must have been really proud.
I am just asking a question. I mean before the gas even exist, does it not rain too? clearly, it is my 1st time viewing this video, hence the question. if you do not want to answer my qns, just refrain from doing so.
@robertlamb178 Did u google-translated this sentence? 'couse I can hardly understand.
AMAZING!!! must see this place!
how do you go there?
how long will it continue to burn?
Hello Grapher!
Do you know that "Galileo" from "Pro7" a german TV channel use your Videos? :)
let the journey begin, friend!
what happens if you try to put out fire with water? will it never end?
They say that it has been burning for 40 years. I think it is beautiful.
Does it stop burning ?
is that really still burning to this day?
your parents will be proud of you... Nice upbringing I must say... Have a good day :)
So, it has burned in bloody 40 years, when does it stop?
It burns through rain?
I wanna see what it looked like when it started x)
how deep is this?
how about filling the cavern with gallons of water, and let the gas released into the water, and use the extraction technique to filter out the gas???
RADIANT VICTORY!
exactly.
woah...
This is just like hell
what ever u do the fire won't stop
One does not simply walk into the Door to Hell...
Ight where this hotel at
Why not build a large dome over the hole and siphon all the gas?
No, al parecer en el subsuelo de esa zona hay una fuente de gas natural, es como si tuvieras una estufa siempre prendida jaja. Lleva como 42 años así
yay!
I have to say this could be turned into a very nice BBQ Restraunt, You could bake those saussages and other food in that!
70 meters (230 ft).
so cool 0.0
why turn off your light bulb when this craic is goin on?!
Holy Hell
yes
man i can feel the heat from my house and it's far away.MALTA.
thanks hypnofeed
@beiiyahh i couldent agree more ^_^.
I mean its got to be over 200+ degrees celceus in other words mighty hot inside that crater
Is anyone else tempted to attempt the world's biggest barbecue over this pit?
hell's entrance..
I bet their gas bill is super high to keep that going all these years...
It's natural gas
Spyder Uhh...thanks. Can you not see a joke when you come across one? I mean, come on, do you actually believe that I think they are paying for natural gas to burn...forget it. Goodbye.
Ok
okay and use poisonous gases on what?
about 70 meters
yeah, but what about the poisonous gases?
Imagine throwing someone in there..
Use a crane boom to roast the worlds biggest marshmallow.
~ 15-20 m.
@Wulingqunxia It will when all the natural gas has been burnt out, but no idea when that will happen.
Cozy
Middle of the desert, and I think the gas already in there that they were originally planning to burn quickly would be enough to keep it going. (Even if not, why don't YOU try to cover the flaming, hot hole? Can anyone say 'largest cooking pan'? :P)
It's in a desert, so no, it probably doesn't get much rainfall, if any.
Imagine getting thrown in there, Horrible death.
What a waste... with all the architects and technology in the world they can stop this and most probably extract these gases rather than wasting for 40 years.
it keeps burning from 1971
So that's how you enter hell.
subhana allah.
this would be dire
Why can't we put a big wall and cover the fire,doesn't fire need oxygen?
They should try some sort of cultist ritual and see if that door really works! :D That would be so cool!
I want to visit this with a replica lotr Ring and throw it in.
congrats!!! you have found the entrance to HELL!
That's some cool ass shit.
that's what he said
if someone fell in this...it would be bad.
It looks like a gateway to Hell
so what you're really saying is that for 31 yEARS this epic fail is doubled by the lack of innovative engineering to create a steam turbine over the top of this dross pot and produce...I can only imagine the kilowatts this could have produced. Holy crap now that is industry gone straight to hell
You look like you've jumped in that hole several times now.
that's what she said
LARGE SACRIFICE!!!!!!
There is no winter :))
lol thats exactly what local call this place
@Wulingqunxia it have burned for over 40 years..
Collect this gas economically inefficient.
Better to do tourist attraction - you can earn more money.
Song that would fit to this: Ed Sheeran - I See Fire. :-)
Mountainside that he sings about...well,...imagine it inverted. ;-)
That song is about my hometown here in Gatlinburg Tennessee in 2015 Gatlinburg was in gulfed in flames the entire city was burning. So many people died and families trapped and people begged God as they fought the fire trying to leave town. Look up on you tube Gatlinburg Tennessee i see fire on the mountainside. Thats a day many will never forget and many have nightmares about nightly still to this day..
@Wulingqunxia - it was burning for 40 years
yea, dire defeat
Теперь ваш кратер принадлежит челябинцам
@xZer0s it's the desert.....
It's the gate to hell
I hope it would rain 🌧 oncee
Some Steward Man has turned out to be.
At last! A free place to cook!
methane or natural gas??? 2 different sources!
Natural gas=98-100% methane.
to disappear, yeaaaah
Mountain Doom
Chuck Norris Hot Tub!
