One of the most famous tourist monuments in Turkmenistan, the “Darvaza Gas Crater” was recently included in the list of the most amazing places on Earth. The list was compiled by sohu.com, one of China’s leading media outlets and the largest information network.
Journalists have compiled a list of some of the most unique and inimitable natural monuments on Earth. This list includes unique features that are not found anywhere else on Earth.
The world-famous Alav, known as the “Darvaza Gas Crater”, is located within the boundaries of the Ahal velayat. The huge flame in the center of the endless prairie was hailed as a miracle. Fans who are trying to understand why the Darvaza Gas Crater is so attractive are interested in the genre. The natural features of these places, the blue sky and the uniqueness of the prairies have a profound effect on the human spirit. With the onset of evening, a breeze rises over the summit. The flame pours its own heat into these areas. It is no coincidence that tourists watching the breathtaking landscapes in the late afternoon are amazed by these attractions. The characteristic glow of the flame is combined with the golden dawn shape of the west, creating a sense of beauty. Dark Flame is a natural gas field that was created in 1971 as a result of soil erosion during exploration. The diameter of the well is 69 meters, the depth is 30 meters.
According to the publication, over the past five years, more than 50,000 people from all over the world have come here to observe the Darvaza Gas Crater.
The list of unique monuments includes the “rainbow” mountains of Peru, the Chocolate Hills of the Philippines, the Union Falls in Bolivia, the Rainbow River in Australia and many others
