Turkmenistan crater has been burning for more than 40 years. In 1971, Soviet geologists drilled into a cavern of natural gas near the Turkmen village of Derweze.

However, even they thought to be an oil source, the crater has baffled scientists, as it has burned for more than 40 years after it was discovered.
