The Door to Hell (also known as the Gates to Hell, the Crater of Fire, Darvaza Crater) is a natural gas field in Derweze, Turkmenistan, that collapsed into an underground cavern in 1971, becoming a natural gas crater. Geologists set it on fire to prevent the spread of methane gas, and it has been burning continuously since then. The diameter of the crater is 69 m, and its depth is 30 m.
The crater is a popular tourist attraction. In the past five years 50,000 tourists have visited the site. The gas crater has a total area of 7003535000000000000♠5,350 m2, the size of an American football field. The surrounding area is also popular for wild desert camping.
The gas crater is located near the Derweze village. It is in the middle of the Karakum Desert, about 260 kilometres (160 mi) north of Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. The gas reserve found here is one of the largest in the world. The name "Door to Hell" was given to the field by the locals, referring to the fire, boiling mud, and orange flames in the large crater, which has a diameter of 70 metres (230 ft). The hot spots range over an area with a width of 60 metres (200 ft) and to a depth of about 20 metres (66 ft).
In many mythological, folklore and religious traditions, hell is a place of torment and punishment in an afterlife. It is viewed by most Abrahamic traditions as punishment.Religions with a linear divine history often depict hells as eternal destinations. Religions with a cyclic history often depict a hell as an intermediary period between incarnations. Typically these traditions locate hell in another dimension or under the Earth's surface and often include entrances to Hell from the land of the living. Other afterlife destinations include Heaven, Purgatory, Paradise, and Limbo.
Other traditions, which do not conceive of the afterlife as a place of punishment or reward, merely describe hell as an abode of the dead, the grave, a neutral place located under the surface of Earth (for example, see sheol and Hades). Hell is sometimes portrayed as populated with demons who torment those dwelling there. Many are ruled by a death god such as Nergal, Hades, Hel, Enma or the Devil.

Satan's Hollow is a fixed shooter arcade game released by Bally Midway in 1982, subsequently converted to the Atari 8-bit family, and in 1984 to Commodore 64. The game uses the same flight-controller style joystick with built-in trigger as Midway's Tron, released the same year.
The player must shoot flying formations of gargoyles in order to pick up pieces of a bridge that must be built over a river of lava. Once the bridge is completed, the player can cross it to face Satan. Destroying him scores bonus points based on the number of waves completed to that point, and also upgrades the rocket launcher. The player then resumes the battle against the gargoyles and must start building a new, longer bridge in order to fight Satan again. The sky darkens on later waves, making it harder to see the enemies.
As the game progresses, the gargoyles begin to throw exploding eggs, along with rocks that can destroy bridge sections; the player also occasionally faces disembodied devil heads that float around the screen and spit fire. In addition to firing rockets at the enemies, the player can use a shield that will destroy any enemy touching it. However, this shield can only be used for a short time before it must shut down to recharge. Gargoyles will sometimes attempt to steal a ship from the player's reserve lives, similar to Galaga.

The Darvaza Crater, which is the actual name of the 'Door to Hell', has sparked the curiosity of many over the years, but George Kourounis became the first to actually step in. In the desolate landscape of northern Turkmenistan lies a fiery crater that would impress even Dante. Nobody's really sure how the gaping hole of fire known as the 'Door to Hell' came to be. Some say it was a drilling mishap made worse by attempts to burn off the gas several decades ago. Whatever it was, the Darvaza Crater has sparked the curiosity of many over the years, including that of George Kourounis. He recently plunged himself into the mysterious burning pit to see what really goes on down there, making him the first person to dare to do so.

Back in 2006, Waldemar Januszczak and a film crew went undercover to Turkmenistan to shed some light on the secretive post-Soviet nation. In this extract from the final film, Waldemar encounters a unique natural phenomenon, and - after some vodka - sings some Polish songs in a Reading shirt. Still in the grips of the totalitarian and eccentric rule of Saparmurat Niyazov - otherwise known as Türkmenbaşy (Leader of Turkmen), the crew were pleasantly surprised to encounter a beautiful and mysterious country, with a largely happy and positive populace.

It’s an ancient legend: Located in scattered areas of Earth are openings, doorways, gates, if you will, to some unseen underworld, also variously referred to as hell, Hades and Dante’s Inferno. Researchers exploring the famous Twins Cave outside of Jerusalem have uncovered evidence of some pagan rituals, dating back to the Roman Empire, that suggest people may have believed the cave was a portal to this underworld. Bar-Ilan University archaeologists found 42 clay lamps — dating to the late Roman period — in a 70-foot-long vertical shaft inside the cave. It’s speculated that the lamps may have been used in ancient rituals between the 2nd and 4th century C.E., to supposedly guide the Greek goddess Demeter into Hades to search for her missing daughter. . . .

Eerie. Sulfuric. Hissing. A few of the words used in our travel guide, and more intriguing than those of a typical Japanese destination. We headed north to the Aomori prefecture to witness these curious adjectives first hand. Once in Mutsu, we boarded the local bus to Mt. Osorezen. The road up the mountain proved scenic. Subtly, quietly, slow chanting was piped through the buses intercom, electronic ghosts in the crackling of broken speakers. A glance at the only other foreigner we'd seen for half a week brought a moment of comfort as we shared a similar edition of the Lonely Planet. Comrades via travelogue! The brakes squeaked in discordant harmony and there was an unannounced, (or perhaps announced - who knows) roadside stop to a mountain spring. The locals escaped the bus to fill ...
We make the trip from Ashgabat to the Door to Hell with our sump guard and some of the worst roads we've experienced on the trip so far.
Top 10 holes including the biggest, deepest, scariest, most mysterious, and strangest. Number 10. The Darvaze Gas Crater. In Turkmenistan is the burning, stinking, sulphurous crater known as the Gate to Hell. In 1971 Soviet engineers were drilling the area known to hold one of the largest deposits of natural gas. Number 9. The Well Of Chand Baori. Legend has it that this 13 story water well was carved out of the rock by spirits in a single night, and dedicated to the Hindu goddess of happiness. There are 3500 perfectly symmetrical steps leading to the bottom, which is about 10 degrees cooler than at the surface. Number 8. The KTB Superdeep Borehole. Starting in 1982, the German Ministry of Research began a scientific exploration drilling program, deep into the earth's crust, that ...

Vanity is eating us away
And no one cares
Insanity in me to stay
Shine in the eyes but the soul went away
They're so alone,
Searching for their souls
But where to go to find the answers?
No one we know waiting us in the end
But where to go to find the answers?
Serenity is gone forever
Inside the storms prevail with no end
Damage and distress together
will cut the wound, infect the soul
and soon we'll see that
We're going to Hell
Gone are the days of forgiveness and grace
We're going to Hell
To finalize the plan altogether hand in hand.
We're so alone
Searching for our souls
But where to go
To find the answers?
[Solo: Kride]
[Solo: Petri]
Insanity in me to stay
and no one ever cares.
[Solo: T.Planman]
We're going to Hell
Gone are the days of forgiveness and grace
We're going to Hell
