Extreme Englishman | God Save The Extreme

Found in Uzbekistan this cavern was discovered some 40 years ago by excavators looking for natural gas. During their search the ground beneath their rig collapsed unveiling this cavern which was full of poisonous gas. To avoid the gas leaking and having a dangerous effect upon it’s environment it was decided to set fire to the gas to burn it all off. This was expected to last just several days until its sources were depleted. Instead it has been burning quiet steadily with no signs of stopping right up until the present day. It’s gateway style appearances with spitting flames and heat has given it the nickname The Door to Hell for obvious reasons.
