Darvaz — “The Gates of Hell”.
This phenomenon is nothing but a large gas crater in the middle of the desert. And the person is to blame. Once, during excavations, geologists discovered underground voids. They decided to dig deeper, as a result of which — a huge hole formed, from which then gas began to come out. In order not to frighten the local population, they decided to set fire to gas, but they could not know that there were gas deposits in this hole, which in the end still burns. This 60-meter hole is still burning. That’s why this place is called the «Gates of Hell.»

In our time, it is still difficult to imagine the effect of this law in full force. However, what the consequences may be and how people lived during the prohibitions on alcohol can be seen in the next photo selection.
