#4 The Door To Another World
Not many can pinpoint where Turkmenistan is, so this Door is not a common fact known to many of us. However, the state hosts this so-called Door, which is in fact an open crater that has appeared only 40 years ago.
Besides the bizarre ways in which this crater has suddenly appeared, what baffled everyone is how the crater caught on fire all these years ago, creating an ever-burning fire.
Being the sixth country in the world when it comes to natural gas reserves, some people think that there was a drilling accident that made the crater appear, yet no one can tell how it caught on fire as all the land around is barren.
However, with so much gas around, any little spark can ignite a fire, even one that will continue to burn even 40 years later. This is nothing new, as we have our own ever-burning fire, here in the United States.
