I accidentally found this crater on Google maps, and I wanted to learn some more about it; you did just that in this video, thank you so much!!

[@hoangpham]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@lifeeverlasting]

That's pretty cool. Didn't know this place existed before. I like how your set up matches the theme of the video!

[@hoangpham]

Thank you! Yeah the lights definitely add a cool vibe!

[@LilianTejada]

Very enjoyable and informative. I just think that in those 50 years they should have looked for a use for the fire, maybe by placing a cover on it and harness it in some way.

[@rickystravel6323]

What an insane place! Thanks for sharing about it. Didn't know this place existed. Actually chuckled at the dad joke. 😜
