Why has the Darvaza gas crater (Door To Hell) been burning for decades?
In: 1
There isn’t an official explanation or reason know why or how it had started. But it’s sort of like the Centralia, PA fire, where there is so much flammable material, that it keeps burning. In this case, there’s so much gas that the fire can keep burning.
It will keep burning until the fuel is used up, but can be put out before that happens if the reaction is interrupted.
