"The Derweze area in Turkmenistan is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of 70 metres (230 ft) at 40°15′10″N 58°26′22″E. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided the best solution was to burn it off. Geologists had hoped the fire would use all the fuel in a matter of days, but the gas is still burning today. Locals have dubbed the cavern "The Door to Hell"."

Haha..en dålig dag på jobbet!
Känns skönt att jag ska bli geolog. Det gör inget om jag har en dålig dag på jobbet och lyckas sätta eld på en gasreservoar för 40 år sedan och den brinner fortfarande. Det gäller bara att göra en educated guess som vi brukar säga.
