Darvaza Natural Gas Crater still burning since 1971 In 1971 Soviet geologists tapped into the Darvaza area as it is flowing with natural gas. However, when drilling, the rig collapsed which left a gaping hole about 230 ft. In an effort to avoid the discharge of poisonous gas, they decided to burn it off in hopes that the fire would use all fuel in days. This proved unsuccessful and the gas is still burning to this day.
