I’m really really enjoying the Fogonozos blog. The latest post is about an incredible pit of fire located in the middle of nowhere out in the desert of Turkmenistan.
The amazing thing about it, is that the fire isn’t caused by any of the usual natural reasons. The entire thing is actually the result of a mistake made by Soviet engineers who were drilling for natural gas in the 50s. The crater is now 60 meters in diameter and has been burning steadily since the initial ignition.
