Darvaz: The Door to Hell
This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. 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.
There is also one video down there:

Lol.
thats awesome.
and you werent last.
I wonder,what if there’s a typhoon or rain in that area, will it kill the fire?
Probably not. I think the fire is burning methane; it would be extremely difficult to put out with rain. It would probably have to be choked with carbon dioxide, but the government probably decided that it wasn’t worth the cost.
can’t we use those methane for energy? other than just burn it off?
Reminds me of Centralia, Pennsylvania in USA where a coal-mine has been on fire for several decades.
I totally agree, its the first thing I though of when I read about this.
Amazing.
thats pretty cool, so you say the equipment got deep deep underground
Not much “cool”guy! ! ! ! ! ! !i feel so anger over the authorities.why they are not able to cool this great energy source?i think some Texas based oil well fire fighting companies has some technical and man power resources.i suggest Uzbek officials may contact to them and save national asset! ! ! ! ! ! !
for make benefit most glorious nation of uzbekistan!!
And to think in some countries they are trying to ban patio heaters - because of their devastating effect on the environment..
it would probably cause far more damage to the environment to let the gas escape
That was what I meant. Why do I bother…
The earth has been hissing, spitting, farting, and pissing various elements into the sky since the beginning. Thank God we have a new generation of people to point out the danger. Maybe the earth will listen to their wisdon, and comply with their demands.
Stop the earth from polluting the earth!
the earth doesnt naturally produce CFCs dipshit…do us all a favor and learn about it.
the big deal is that we’re upsetting the natural balance with enormous amounts of greenhouse gases.
I recommend you rush there and advise the government on a course of action. Apparently they are not aware of, or concerned about, this grave threat.
If they are not persuaded by logic, science, or history, you can always fall back on that most persuasive of arguments, and refer to them all as “dipshits.”
Love that sarcasm
The most persuasive argument is of course to convince them that this hellhole somehow causes terrorism, child pornography, and illegal filesharing. But it might be a bit hard even for governments to imagine that.
Ok, so am I the only person here who saw this exchange between “Aspelunker” and “Borat” as hilarious?
And as I read further, you guys are ALL worth reading. I am tempted to paste a link from my own blog to this article just so people can read this.
And I DO agree with the man who said for the most part, most people these days seem to be regurgitating what they are told either in the news or by some supposed wannabe-expert. I guess the chasm is between being able to research for ones self all the possibilities, of everything on the earth that matters and ever did. This impossible to do for each person in a single lifetime, AND earn a living and have a life. So in a sense we are doomed by there being too much to know, and the impossibility of knowing it all. I guess what I am getting around to is that it is practically impossible for every human to be able to be completely knowledgeable about everything that we are called to make decisions about.
I guess thats why we have “Experts”.
Which I don’t trust.
So I guess I am screwed.
I guess it just comes down to each person making the best choice they can with what they have to work with.
Days like these, I wish I lived in a cave and didn’t have to think about all this crap.
Anyway…there it is.
Thats my .02 rubles.
:o)
Enjoyable reading from ALL of you!
Then again, we’re loooong, loooong overdue for a complete polar shift. Do some research yourself and realize that as the earth’s elliptical passage changes over the course of years around the sun, we enter periodical ice ages and hot ages. It’s going to happen again sooner or later, and it’s already been shown that Earth has been in this “mild” cycle for quite some time, perhaps the longest “mild” period in it’s history.
For all most of you dumbshits know, CFC’s could be stalling an ice age from coming on. Stop spouting shit that you’ve come across verbatim and without your own thought process; you all, for the most part, are dabbling in theories and processes that you know nothing about.
And so are you, you’ve obviously just heard about a possible polar shift and decided to regurgitate what you remember. Your insult about dabbling in theories they know nothing about is incredibly hypocritical. We are not loooooong, loooong overdue. Your just trying to sound intelligent and really don’t know any details. Go research it yourself. This is NOT the longest ‘mild period’ in history. CFC’s have nothing to do with a polar shift. If you were just trolling then you got me.
maybe your the dumbshit, everyone is allowed to their own opinion so stop dissing everyone else!!!!
Technically, since there are still large masses of ice on the earth, we are still in an Ice Age, primarily the ending of an Ice Age, so if anything, we will be going into a period where global temperatures rise. Unless something catastrophic happens to drop the temperatures worldwide.
Greenhouse gases? Like Carbon DiOxide? Every time you breathe, or fart, you produce those gases. So do the earth a favor, and spare us all your global warming alarmism, and jump in front of a train, take Al “fat ass” Gore with you.
wtf? do you really think that human beings are even capable of effecting the earth’s climate more than the earth is itself? worse things have happened than a few degrees rise in temperature and guess what: the earth rebounded from it with no problem. people who want to change the earth b/c they think it is hurting itself are the real danger here…
I second that ))
Nice report. Don’t mind, but wiki says its in Turkmenistan
Hi Ag, can I have the link to the Wiki article? I looked (in the English one) and I can’t find it. Is it in Wiki RU?

I was gonna mention that….. although this one looks alot cooler.
I was going to submit this to reddit when I saw this:

linking to a very simmillar article to yours!
just fill the hole, then it’ll run out of oxygen for combustion.
Read up on Centralia, Pennsylvania. They have had underground coal mines burning for many many years, and have tried many things to stop it from burning without success. “just fill the hole” won’t stop it.
It’s a shame all that excellent gas is going to waste.
Perhaps they could cover the hole and put in some equipment so they could harvest the gas.
Or at least harvest the heat. *some* efficiency is better than none.
Is good place to cook shashlik, yes?
They have make many millions Euros now if covered hole and saved gas.
Some marshmallows and weiners on very long sticks might be nice, too.
As long as the CIA doesn’t build a secret “prison” next to it…. perhaps it can be made into a giant garbage incinerator.
Awww yeah!
I’d totally roast me up some delicious shashlik over this flamin’ hole!
Imagine your self being roasted there. Its actually a sign of GOD the Almighty for we all human being to see and understand what lies here after. We have heard about hell and no1 knew what happens after death, coz no1 comes back and tells u that. So GOD has given this opportunity to have a look and to refrain from ill deeds and all sins which he forbid.
May GOD give us the capability to think and understand his signs.
LOL.

Aaarrgghhh! My secret little foreign “getaway” spot has been discovered. This is another good example of why “free” media is so bad. No one can keep the secret anymore.

Dear D,
Hello my angry little hornet. I knew you would buzz around to sting me with your remarks as soon as I participated on the forum.
It’s okay. I have a new stack of vintage, authentic 8-track disco tapes to soothe the pain.
Deep, deep underground?
How many levels?
Looks like something out of Diablo 2
Actually you all got it wrong. Under Soviet Collectivisation, everything was shared and this was the place where they cooked foods for all the Citizens of USSR using a giant cooking pot. it was abandoned after the collapse of USSR.
Have you and mahmoud been talking?
Yes,Miss Punjabi is equal to Mahmoud.Kick them to this hole…
BBQ halal
Yes, Miss India, the Soviets were collectively feeding people after cooking on this giant oven when millions of Indians were starving. Get a life!
I resent the statement of “excellent gas”. Methane is a fossil fuel that causes green house emissions. It’s far from being excellent, idiot!
So let it burn?
Or not. Burning methane releases toxins thousands of times more poisonous than, say, CO2. The only reason why CO2 is the scapegoat, is because there isn’t really that much methane compared to CO2. So, let’s try not burn this huge sonafabitch completely, which WILL put methane higher up on Al frggin Gore’s list of stuff to include in his speeches.
Actually, burning pure methane produces no pollutants of any kind:
CH4 (Methane) + 2O2 (Oxygen) -> CO2 (Water) + 2H2O
Burning methane produces ONLY CO2 and water. It pollutes less than any tree in the forest. It only pollutes if there isn’t enough oxygen or if there’s something else in the methane. But that wouldn’t be methane, now would it?
Barbecue,hip hip hura
Does anyone see the face in the flames in the 6th picture from the top? It is just a little left of center and is ridding up the wall of the cave.

It’s “Darvaza” and it is in Turkmenistan, not Uzbekistan. It’s situated in the middle of the Kara Kum desert, between Ashgabat and Dashauz.
I’ve been there. It’s amazing.
Die
:O wow that is amazing !
There is a town in Pennsylvania called Centralia, there has been a coal mine fire burning underground beneath the town for 50 years. The town is now deserted, the roads are all cracked and smoke comes out of them. They think the fire will burn for 250 more years.
you know what? there is a place called Centralia in …..
OOOOH wait a minute, I actually scrolled up the fucking blog comments so now I’m gonna shut the fuck up before I repeat what several other people have said before me
boo, yep.
thats where they shot some scenes from the latest Silent hill movie.
but still, Centralia has nothing on this holy hole.
Have spent many years in Turkmenistan but never heard of this place. What a waste of valuable resource…
I seriously doubt they would patch this hole in near future. Too many efforts and no one would even bother.
Many years ago something like that hapends in Uzbekistan near Gazly (Bukhara region). My grand-dad was there. But it was just a big burning gaz-borehole with high preasure burning flame. By order from Moscow local drilling people drilled one borehole near by this place. After many endless attempts to stop the flame all personal was evacuated, and our military guys with combat engineers and drilling experts from Moscow just put a little nuclear shell into the new hole and detonate it. Flame was successfully stoped. My grand-dad does’nt know all detales about operation, he just drilled a new hole.
This and Centralia (Pennsylvania town burning for about 50 years already) are amazing. I’ve been through Centralia and the sight of smoke coming from the ground is very eerie.
This Hell Hole, literally, is WOW.
ORODRUIN!!!
Shut the fuck up moron ! Taliban will be back soon
what a waste of natures resourses!
We from Hellgate: Eifel would like to greet our friends from Hellgate: Darvaz. You’re a shining example of celebrating hell on earth! May the prince of darkness allways be with you!
Infernal greetings,
Hellgate: Eifel
dude, thats such a waste! that sucks. damn russians. (no im not racist against russians for all you butthurt humanists)
DONT WORRY, OBAMA THE RACIST WILL FIX IT.
Actually it is not in russia.This place is in Turkmenistan
Ok everyone lets clear something up, its in Turkmenistan, anyone say anything else and my head ‘l blow off, *god some people* Quite interesting, but my fire in my house has been burning for longer than that!!
OK Guys,
The correct city name is Darvaza (means Gate in Farsi language).
Here is the wikipedia link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darvaza
Cheers,
So the fire is hard to put it out. Why not run pipes of water into the pit, and generate steam or free hoy water?
OMG!! that is kinda freaky.. i really do wonder, how much gas was wasted on that hole.. its kinda weird, thow. idk how.. so yeah.. lol.. alright..
I bet this has absolutely NO CO2 emissions, unlike the US…
Uzbekistan =/= Russia
I’m afraid the information on this page is wrong. The hole is in Turkmenistan and the town is called ‘Darvaza’.
Though just a simple one letter difference ‘Dravaz’ is a district of Badakhshan which is many miles away from the actual location.
The photos of this page are from JohnBradley.com which actually lists quite clearly that it is turkmenistan and Daravaza.
Have some sources to prove such:
http://johnhbradley.com/pictures2.asp?var=070707darvaza
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darvaza
I would recommend updating erroneous data.
For Christ sake… global warming is a natural occurrence that happens on Earth SEVERAL times during its geological history. Yes, we are contributing, but not enough so that we’re going to see its effects. These liberal scientists and politicians want you to think that we are going to see some huge change, but a complete polar shift won’t happen for another 10,000 years AT LEAST. The only reason they want to make it seem like global warming is an eminent threat is so that they could rake up profits from hybrid vehicles and “green-friendly” products that do only half the damage to the environment. Wanna save the world? Wipe out mankind.
Very well put…finally someone who thinks instead of following all the Lemmings right off the cliff. I thought I was the only one left in the world that doesn’t buy into the whole global warming lie.
I love your answer on how to save the world. lol
You, know. If the world needs saving, it WILL wipe out mankind all by itself. Like Mr Sample
said: all these things has happened over and over again in the geological history, and look Earth is still here with us!! Maybe it is already starting to make ready to wipe us all out. Really the only thing ecologists/environmentalists have to worry about is the human species. It’s not like we are crying about dinosaurs being extinct, we don’t need them, the Earth doesn’t need them, it’s the way of the world. Earth doesn’t need us, we need the Earth’s resources and thats the only reason why we have to live sustainably. Please! How would humans be able to destroy an entire planet! We are only destroying ourselves.
they should put it out and put that natural gas to good use! seems like theres alot down there
wow this whole is perfect for hiding corpses! just toss em in there and theyl burn up!

Well, I once saw a documentary about a town in Pensylvania abandonned for 50 years or so because of underground coal mine fire. The air had become poisonous and at night you could see the rocks SHINE because of the heat. Seems pretty usual in fact, as the same happened in China, hence not as visible as this Hell Hole. Since we’re talking about impressive, there’s also the 15 natural nuclear reactors in Gabon, which are deep uranium deposits so dense they managed to ignite a fission reaction by themself. Reactions have ended now, but it happened like 1.7 Billions years ago.

I am wondering when the earth will go into a serious wobble caused by mankind moving all the rock and steel etc. from one place to another? Like a tire or tyre if you’re in Europe. The earth spins at a high rate of speed. If you, move the weights around on a tire you will cause a wobble so intense that at the right speed it could cause the tire to explode.
The only thing I can figure that keeps the earth from shifting or exploding is the water on it. HYDRAULIC BALANCE
“A condition of equal opposed hydraulic forces acting on a part in a hydraulic component.”
The bottom line is Mankind is to the earth what cancer is to the animal world. We are not as smart as we think and will someday kill this planet. Therefore killing ourselves. Brilliant Humans fight, fight, fight for what you will someday kill off anyway. If we focused our energy on the preservation of this amazing place we would all benefit in the end. The people we should learn from are the native tribes of earth not the so called educated modern people.
Just my take.
It’s always funny when someone takes the argument that people are somehow separate from “the animal world” or not a part of the earth. People are a product and therefor a part of the earth, so the earth can blame itself for it’s own destruction. Why can’t people accept that mankind is a natural phenomenon, no different than the collapsing of a massive star into a blackhole? It’s not so much that what humans are doing is “right” or “wrong”, as destruction is a huge part of nature. It just may not be to liking of humans in our self-centered view. I’m not talking about the selfish industrial capitalist view of destruction for profit, but the selfish view that we can maintain the current state of the earth; that this is somehow the right way, with people and all the plants and animals around today. The selfish view that we don’t want things to change, because we fear change. The “native tribes” you speak of had their chance and they lost out to evolution. It’s not about being educated, it’s just about evolution. Humans are not only evolving just like everything else, but humanity is a huge part of the course of evolution and may even lead to its own successors…

when I first saw the pictures and read the article, I thought….wow.
However, after thinking about it for a while I thought: what loss… so much gas burning since the 70s, that is a total loss it must cost billions of dollars, I mean it couldn’t have just happend by accident, there must have been a political conspiracy behind it, or else why not put it out and benefit from what is left of that gas?!!
ho god,, it’s really frightful
but there’s still a question :
HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN BURNING?

This is so wrong.
Firstly, its near a village (more like 1 yurt) calld DARVAZA. Secondly it’s in TURKMENISTAN. Yes, central Turkmenistan, in the Karakum desert. Nowhere near Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan has no natural gas reserves to speak of.
They’re not wasting much here because it’s uneconomical to transport this gas anywhere (it’s in the middle of nowhere), and it’s not really that much gas considering the proved reserves they have. The amount of gas that is burnt off in a day can probably power a western household for all of about an hour, so no-one cares.
Thanks. Please do some research on central asia, it’s a fascinating and beautiful place.

Some 35 years ago in the small town of Darvaz geologists, while drilling for natural gas, opened up an underground cavern that covered the expanse of their entire drilling site. Unwilling to enter the cavern while poisonous gasses were still detectable, the geologists set fire to the cavern hoping that it would “burn off” the gasses and clear the air for further exploration. What they got instead is a continuous 35 years of burning inferno. Ceasing to stop burning, the site has become known by locals as “The Door to Hell”. Link: English Russia [...]

I haven’t read all the comments, BUT I cannot see any reason why, (if there is a town nearby, or factory to be built), a Corporation couldn’t capitalize on this burning methane (gas) hole and cap it. With piping ready to feed it to a town for cheap heat and power, the initial capping would snuff the oxygen and pressure would instantly feed the piping to whatever use was deemed INCREDIBLY profitable. The initial implementation is the expensive part that will be offset by the free fuel savings. If no town is nearby, then a factory would run without the need for fuel, etc. Am I wrong? If so, fine. Wasting anything useful is a terrible thing and we ALL do it. The factory could empower impoverished people to give them a future. ?????

[...] Darvaz: The Door to Hell | English Russia » This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. 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. [...]

How can you say that all the ’stans are the same?
You are wrong.
I’ve been to Kazakhstan. It’s an awesome place.
Each ’stan has its own culture, language, and peoples. That’s like saying Texas and California are all the same to me!
How ignorant!
