Derweze, also known as the door to hell, is a 70 meter wide hole in the middle of the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan. The hole was formed in 1971 when a team of Soviet geologists had their drilling rig collapse when they hit a cavern filled with natural gas. In an attempt to avoid poisonous discharge, they decided to burn it off, thinking that the gas would be depleted in only a few days. Derweze is still burning today

Oh hello there! My name is Isaac. I am a 21-year-old New Hampshire resident who works at a locally-owned burrito restaurant. I am taking college courses off and on when I can afford them. Sooner or later, I will be a high school English teacher if everything turns out the way I hope. I play banjo and singing saw and I wish I could start a folk band or a noise band. I watch too many movies, listen to too much music, and drink too much beer, so if you want to talk about these things that'd be great.
