The crater fire named “Gates of Hell” is seen near Darvaza, Turkmenistan, Sunday, July 12, 2020. The president of Turkmenistan is calling for an end to one of the country's most notable but infernal sights – the blazing desert natural gas crater widely referred to as the “Gates of Hell”. The crater, about 260 kilometers (160 miles) north of the capital Ashgabat, has been on fire for decades and is a popular sight for the small number of tourists who come to Turkmenistan, which is difficult to enter.
