This frightening name of the place was given by the locals in the nearby town of Darvaza. We are talking about crater 70 meters wide, which burning without stopping for 35 years. In 1971 geologists who drilled the mountain in order to find deposits of gas, found a large underground tank, which caused the ground under them to collapse. Since then, the pit is filled with poisonous gases and experts are hoping that will burn for several days. Unfortunately, the calculations are shown incorrect, so the crater continues to burn to this day.

2. Meteoric crater (USA)

This meteoric crater was created by an asteroid impact which was traveling at 43,000 km / h. and is 70 km. east of Flagstaff, in the deserts of northern Arizona. This “galactic” phenomenon was created 50 000 years ago when the local climate on the Colorado Plateau was much cooler and with lower pressure. The crater has a volume of about 4 km and is about 180 meters deep. For several decades, the crater is located on stamps in the US and is visited by over 80,000 tourists annually.
