I'm a liar this isn't the gates of hell. It is a big flaming pit that has been burning for almost 35 years in the desert of Turkmenistan. The story goes that some Russian geologists were sent out into the desert to search for natural gas deposits. They found one and in order to burn off the natural gas to get into the large crater beneath them they started it on fire. 35 years later it's still burning.
