Original Note:
The cause of the crater is uncertain. Some local geologists have claimed that the collapse of a crater happened in the 1960s, and set on fire in the 1980s to prevent poisonous gases. Others assert that the site was drilled by Soviet engineers in 1971 as an oil field. https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p08vxl52/how-the-soviets-accidentally-discovered-the-gates-of-hell- https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/140716-door-to-hell-darvaza-crater-george-kourounis-expedition https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/turkmenistan-hopes-door-to-hell-will-boost-tourism-1.1880647
