Looks like the worlds biggest BBQ pit to me. http://cellar.org/2008/ahell2.jpg More pictures and a video here. |
Door to Hell
I see bar -b -que written all over this......Let the recipes follow:headshake
|
Maybe a nice temp to roast up some little birdies and marshmallows.
Anyone got a long enough stick? |
WOW
I love IoTD. |
Looks more like molten lava.
|
Reminds me of Centralia, Pennsylvania.
|
That was interesting, thanks, Yellowbolt. Now I feel the need to go there! :lol:

Closer to home, I just found out that a contractor for the former GE Aerospace factory had been dumping industrial waste just upsream from our reservoir from 1966 to 1973. Cleanup begins here in May.

One time we went thru they were having a parade, with fire trucks and everything. Pretty ironic really... |
Back to Uzbekistan, it seems if we could put out Saddam's oil field fires during Gulf One, that this could be brought under control. Unlike Centralia, this is right out in the open. It would help reduce global warming and might allow reclamation of the gas.

So would everyone doubling up on the baked beans and skipping the grilling altogether this 4th of July. :right: |
Cool pic Bruce.
It is very well named. Much of the orgional imagery for hell came from a place called Gehnna were they burned trash. This Gehnna Jesus said was like Hell with never ending fire and worms that will not die. |
Coordinates of Darvaza
It’s actually called 'Darvaza', and it is in Turkmenistan, not Uzbekistan. It’s situated in the middle of the Kara Kum desert, about 6 miles north of Darvaza.
