🔥🔥 Karakum Desert & Darvaza Gas crater ⛽️😍

A lot of people come to turkmenistan to witness this WEIRDLY AMAZING PHENOMENON! DARVAZA GAS CRATER! It is MOST amazing at night when the sky is dark and the crater is lit up. It is a breathtaking natural wonder in Turkmenistan's Karakum Desert. This stunning sight is the consequence of a natural gas field accident in 1971. To prevent the spread of methane gas, the crater was set on fire, and it has continued to burn since. The Darvaza Gas Crater is a bizarre picture, with flames dancing over a massive crater, casting an ethereal light visible from miles away. It has become a renowned tourist destination, attracting tourists from all over the world who are drawn by its uncanny beauty and mystery appeal. If you visit Turkmenistan, especially from the border with Uzbekistan, make sure you arrange a tour to this unique spot! ❤️🔥
