Roasting Marshmallows Over the Door to Hell - Darvaza Gas Crater, Turkmenistan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 дек 2019
- The door to hell. The gates of hell. Darvaza Gas Crater. Derweze.
These are all names for the main attraction in Turkmenistan, and in this travel vlog, we take this adventure to a whole new level.
Turkmenistan is built on methane. I mean this literally and figuratively. In the vast arid deserts of the country lie the 4th largest natural gas deposits in the world, and this is the cash cow that makes the capital Ashgabat, sparkle with gold and marble.
The Darvaza Crater was a mining disaster. So they think. No one really knows, as I don’t believe there were any survivors. In 1971 a soviet mining operation punctured the eggshell surface of a potential gas deposit in the middle of the Karakum desert, and fell into a pit. Years later, someone lit a match, and Bang! Welcome to the door to hell.
Put this location on your bucket list for 2020. It's worth the three hour drive north from Ashgabat. The new president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov has opened up the country much more than it used to be. Getting the VISA wasn't a walk in the park, but our friends at Lupine Travel set everything up for us.. Check out their trips to some of the lesser travelled countries!

Thanks bro! I do present The Travel Show on BBC!
Name of Background music 🎶???
Are you Canadian?
I'm from Turkmenistan and I'm so happy to see you representing our people as kind men and women. A lot of the media gave us a lot of backlash these past couple of years! thanks for proving them wrong :)
Your country is so beautiful. I want to come visit so badly!
i can not wrong
Trump did say CNN is fake news
You should go.. ☺️ your country is so beautiful ❤️
It is a beautiful country
Turkmenistan is my motherland bro, and i was so excited when I saw your really professional and interesting videos about my country, thank you so much!
I love Turkmenistan, from India
I'm from Turkmenistan but I haven't even gone Doorway of the hell lol.. Happy Christmas Turkmenistan and Canada!
You have youtube down there?
@@ivankratz9643 You can access RUclips using VPN in Turkmenistan
Me two😆
just wasting your natural resources for 40 years lol, must be awesome
@@stoicmed good for you. Ignorance is bliss
This is your best yet my man! I need to go there ASAP 🔥
Welcome to Turkmenistan! I would help with any further assistance or guidance👌
👍👍👍
Thank you so much ... Thank you for explaining my country’s people as friendly people because not all people think like this 💜
That's myth 🤗
@This is what I’m....accept me as I’m.. you need mental help bro. There is good and evil everywhere in this world
Looks dangerous, the edge might collapse any moment and no escaping once you soak down to purgatory pit. You and your girl are very brave 👍
More like dumb
@@Kevin507K Jesus Christ is king amen 🙏
Well not maybe collapse, it's been burning 50 years so i guess all parts which are going to collapse has collapsed already but yeah i still wouldn't go that close to edge.
@@StefaHA I wouldn't be so sure, edges corrode all the time and therefore can collapse at any time. The fence is there for a reason, I don't get why people have to climb over it for a few nice shots. It's fine if they had special permission, but I see this all the time and it's annoying and dangerous.
@@Sk4lli agree. it would be epic if they fall to catch the marshmallow
"This place is too kind".
You know something up when the man from Canada says they are too nice.
So cute when our citizen can speak english with foreigners
That big feasting turkmen family brought a smile to my face!
Waited this video a long time and it didn’t disappoint! The drone shots of the doorway to hell looked amazing, what a great place from a photography/cinematography point of view!
This once-in-a-lifetime experience was an awesome bookend to this series, Mike. Can't wait for your Trans-Siberian escapade with Gareth. You guys are truly awe-inspiring! Shout-out to Lexie. She's amazingly brave for such a young woman. Cheers!
Staying at the edge is too dangerous. You can just fell of from it 😃
This video deserves way more views! Great content my guy!
Thanks, Mike, for another great video! Always happy to hangout with you. Make it a great day! Be the peace! ✌️
Thanks so much for this video I love love love traveling, especially places that are like this, different and unique and out of the way! I haven't been here, so thank you because your video was so beautiful and well done! The people of Turkmenistan seem so friendly, I loved seeing them represented! ❤❤ I'm a new fan of your channel, can't wait to see
what's next. Ty!
Daaaang! This is one HELL of a content. This is beautiful. Indeed you're fearless to do that! Happy Holidays ❣️.
Mike, this has to be one of the most epic videos you've ever done. So kind of that family to invite you and Lexie over to share some of their food and fermented camel milk. Your videos really help prove the point that, for the most part, people in other parts of the world are generally friendly and aren't scary at all, as some people believe. It really makes me happy to see that. And wow...the Darvaza Gas Crater is impressive even during the day, but at night it's on a whole other level! Roasting marshmallows over it has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen you do...and that's saying something! This Turkmenistan series was fantastic. Looking forward to the Trans-Siberia Railway series! 🐉🐉🐉🐉

Thanks for doing this and sharing with us all! Now I don't have to go...saves me a bundle.
Great video, I thought the drone videos at night over the pit were amazing, also the music I thought went perfectly with all the shots.
Awesome video as usual. That was incredible. Can’t imagine what it looked like live. Russia series will be beautiful I am sure. Can’t wait. 👍👍 Happy Holidays Mike!
Wow, I live in Turkmenistan but unfortunately I didn't go this place. Right now I study in China, but in holidays I'll go there.
Wow. Simply amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience Mike.
This was awesome ! Holy crap I never knew places like these existed like now I’m curious as to how many more there are out there
Mike.. Love your channel, always fantastic videos.. Have a great Christmas from Australia
The best is yet to come! ! 🐉

Wow! Thank you for taking us here! Didnt know this place existed! What a way to make smores! After watching, It felt like doomsday captured but tastefully done! Safe travels Mikmik! 🐉🐉🐉
Im from Turkmenistan and im so happy to see you Representing our people and our place as kind men and women . A lot of the media gave us a blacklash these past couple of years!!! thank so much proving them wrong !!!!!
Once I was flying over Turkmenistan and spotted some roads in a wide desert area. So I followed the roads with my eyes and spotted this big black hole in the ground. It was very curiously interesting so I went back home and searched online.
It was the Gateway To Hell and it was something I didn't expect exist. I guess seeing it from the sky and spotting was quite a thrill too!
Amazing dude. The Storytelling is perfect. Video flows really well. What an incredible location. I'm interested in the visa process.
Awesome video Fearless and Far or Mike safe journey thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day guys
Sick video man, how on earth you don't have more suscribers, your content is lit!
that girl though... cuteness overload
Amazing place! The drone footage is epic! And it's true what you said about places deemed "critical" or "dangerous" truly have the most friendly people who are just eager to share their culture to tourists! That local family is no exemption. Thanks for this Turkmenistan series, Mike! Happy holidays to you and all the 🐉🐉🐉🐉! 💛
That was very interesting Mike . You sure can the out of the way places . Happy Holidays 😊😍
Bucket list, Tourism, and videography done right.
I love your videos :) thank you.
spreading positive vibes. keep it up. NB needs a few like you,
This was great! Thank you guys!
Awesome. They better not catch on and not let me in because of this!! Lol
Great video. I was wondering if you two discussed the fact that if the ledge broke or if you fell in, one of you would have not made it back?
Simply Fing EPIC!!!
dude, roasting those marshmallows on the age of crater was fearless fart to me!
i felt that
WOW! Lovely orientation! Thanks.
Once again thank you youtube. For reminding me of how poor I am lol.
Being broke is temporary being poor is the state of mind
You have a great way of storytelling bro. Really enjoy your stuff. Keep it up bro!
Thanks man. I try to be as transparent, and as fun as possible. The world is incredible. Chase your fears! 🐉
Amazingly well editied video!

Thank you from Jamaica!
@@fearlessandfar Are you in Jamaica now? Or in Tm?
That was an awesome vlog....you never fail to amaze me Fearless and Far...🐉🐉🐉
That fire could be a great source of energy
Interesting how no matter where you go in the world, everyone likes to enjoy a feast.
This video and channel is so underrated
Why did you add music to the part where you said "can you hear that?" You should have let us hear it too 🤦♂️
I thought the same
It's on you tube, original sound, but it is too good to be from that time so it could be BS. Search sound from he** on YT.
Thank you for takings me every where just by watching your picture in u tube
I love it
Yeey Mike your vlog is Always amazing need to catch up on your latest video though
Fighting mike 😂😀😁
Fearless and Far
(perfect friend ). Mukemmel olmuş dostum . 🇹🇲-🇨🇦=🤝🔭🌃
This is really cool.
Great advancher 👍
love how he could have added like 10 minutes of him actually going there but he dident cause he knows what we came for
6:45 I am worried for the Turkmen guy who cooked bbq. I wish our government will not interrogate and torture him. While we are afraid to comment on RUclips from our real account he has been filmed in the video where truths are told about Turkmenistan. *Thank you for spreading awareness about the dictatorship in Turkmenistan while we Turkmens can't.*
Same here worried too
Hello, guys. What about the bbq? I am very curious.. This is the 2nd vlog I've watched about your country and being an introvert, I find it a paradise for me
Your country is so beautiful. Much love from the Philippines ❤❤❤
@@tesslavinor1013 indeed it is! dont listen those bugs and their weeps, weeping about their life is their essential life condition! Come to visit us!
@@Danny88Jumanji thank you.. well if you compare your country to North Korea, yours is much better I believe because your countrymen were able to live abroad and goes in and out of your country. Have a blessed day.
@@tesslavinor1013 no it is not! We are not even close to NK. This is fake understanding of human rights watch...those who compare us to NK should visit NK first and then speak out! Thanks! God bless you too friend!
🇹🇲WELCOME TO TURKMENISTAN!🇹🇲
I hope upcoming tourists will have awesome experience and fun in our country
omg!!!!I have seen this crater on instagram and searched on youtube.Best video!!
yo dude u should've hide/blure the faces. especially the bbq guy. lol they will ask him odd questions!
Thank you for the video. Glad we were our guest. What kind of music plays in the background?
Some would think that would be a good spot for a massive geo-thermal powerplant.
Have they done anything about it by now? Seems pretty wasteful to just let it burn like that
First time i heard Turkmenistan and looks out of this world country 😯
Hello to America, Russia and the world from Turkmenistan 🇹🇲
wow! That place was so amazing.Great job man.More adventures to come.Keep safe and come back to Philippines hahaha😂😂😂 God bless you😊 Merry Christmas!

Mike: "I'm talking too much aren't I?"
Me: NOOOOOO! Don't stop! Talk all you like!
My lucky day! No 1! AND YOU FOUND HELL! You can roast all your chestnuts all you like this Christmas. But I'm having Smores in HELL! Fantastic Video, man SPECTACULAR! One of your best! I feel the heat... In your editing, music, topic, storytelling. Unparalleled in anything about this place here on RUclips. "ITS PERFECT" You say and WE AGREE! Worth the wait. HOT AS HELL! This dragon is burning and ready to spit fire🐉🐉🐉🐉🔥🔥🔥 Ready for Transiberian series! We are all aboard!!! WOOT WOOT!♥️
Ahhh brooo! I always talk too much at the end right? hahaha
Thanks for being a dedicated dragon! You rock my world. Can't wait to share 2020. It will blow your mind. 🐉
Fearless & Far 🤯 Blown to smithereens since I found this channel🐉🐉🐉🐉
Hahaha! You summed it up perfectly, Roland! It's unreal how well-made this video is! 🐉🐉🐉🐉
Amazing video 🤩🤩🤩
You can just feel the vibe in the desert
Incredible! Thank you for taking me there. . . I was worried the fiberglass would melt, but it worked. Only one thing I would do different---Saltines instead of grahams, try it sometime!
Happy travels, all.
Thanks for best video.
Wow it was beautiful 😍
it is my motherland
great video!
yeah you are said true, in the country like no people, countries people in the outside, in the abroad, working or studying. we of course come back and growing up our country and our custom.
We loved it there. The people were so friendly. I hope you can see that in this video!
Nu way man 😉😉 super duper Scarry...,might be careful!!!
„Getting poisonous gas particles into roasted marshmallows.”
That place is on my bucket list dead serious.
There actually IS a place kinda similar, and much closer to home. There has been a massive coal fire burning under the town of Centralia, PA, for over 50 years. They say it could burn another 500 years. The entire town’s population had to be relocated, though i think there are a couple people who refused to leave.
U are really impressive...i hope i can do all u do as well...but i just cant..haha..i dont have any courage..thank u for sharing to us the extreme world out there..take care...
There's a coal mine in Centralia Pennsylvania that's been burning for decades. A handful of ppl still live there but it's largely a ghost town now, the main road thru covered in graffiti. I believe the fire still burns.
İ wish i could press the like button for thousands of times💫
Very welcoming. He was talking about Risak.
this video is so underrated!! 1m view at least
Thank you for Sharing
AMAZING!
I am honestly so scared just looking at that place because if you fall down, there is no way back up.
15:03 I think she's really excited about the experience, hu?
Turkmenistan is my country friends I am very lucky to have such a very different landscape I am very proud I hope the whole country will know us
Love how he said the gas hole smells like gas and how it's also on fire and he says it's hot 😅 no hate it's just funny. Love the content and I'm back here watching this video for like the 4th time but decided to finally say something about it lol
I from Turkmenistan.U videos very exciting.super😍
We had a great time! I wish I could go back!
