The Door to Hell is a natural gas field in Derweze (also spelled Darvaze, meaning gate), Ahal Province, Turkmenistan. The Door to Hell is noted for its natural gas fire which has been burning continuously since it was lit by Soviet petrochemical scientists in 1971. The fire is fed by the rich natural gas deposits in the area. The pungent smell of burning sulfur pervades the area for some distance. More at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_to_Hell
