“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. I wonder what Co2 emission that have given us”

“Utan för den lilla staden Darvaz i Uzbekistan, ligger var ortsborna kallar “The Door to Hell”. Det började för redan 35 år sedan då man borrade efter gas och hittade en stor underjordisk gasficka, all utrustning försvann ner i hålet, ingen vågade att ta sig ner för att hämta upp utrustningen då där fanns en massa giftig gas, så istället satta man eld på gasen för att den inte skulle läcka ut, enda sedan dess har det brunnit i hålet, nu 35 år senare oavbrutet så har lågorna slickat väggarna i vad världen känner till som “The Door to Hell”, undrar hur många miljoner kilo koldioxid det är”

Information from wikipedia; “The Wave is a sandstone formation on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, located in northern portion of the U.S. state of Arizona, just south of the Utah-Arizona border about halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona.
This formation can be reached by hiking approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) across rugged, trailless landscape, making the round-trip to and from The Wave a nearly 6-mile (9.7-kilometer) hike that climbs about 350 feet (107 meters) in altitude. Temperatures in this area easily climb above 100 F in the summer, so it is best to start the hike early. It is recommended to carry 1 gallon of water per person and lunch.”
I really want to go here one day, i feel like that’s one of those things you need to see before you die. see more images from The Wave here.
Really check out the images! you’ll get blown away!
