The gas craters, Darvaza


A desert ride to our wild camp in the desert (strange that) was next up which offered the chance to visit the Darvaza gas craters. These have been left burning for twenty years + apparently after a Russian search for gas went a bit wrong, although they clearly found some! Took a proper old russian Transit van equivilant up and over the sand dunes the few k's to get there. Wow.
