Turkmenistan’s ‘Hellfire’ Finally Cooling Off

Imagine a campfire that’s been burning for 50 years—except it’s the size of a crater and fueled by natural gas! Turkmenistan’s famous ‘Gateway to Hell’ is finally shrinking after decades of spewing methane. Locals and tourists loved the wild photo ops, but the government hated the bad press (and climate guilt). Now, engineers are finally putting a lid on it by draining the gas. Maybe time to plan your last selfie before it’s just a regular hole in the ground! #TravelNews #EcoUpdate #WeirdWorld #Business
