    In the Turkmenistan desert, a crater dubbed “The Door to Hell” has been burning for decades. The crater is located about 161 miles (about a 4 hour drive) from the Turkmen capital Ashgabat. Tours can be booked through agents in Ashgabat. Alternatively, some companies offer more structured tours of the surrounding area, with the Darvaza crater included (such as this tour, by The Geographical Society of New South Wales).

    What wonderful illustrations of what passes for present day humanity are exhibited in the comments. I don't have a remedy, the unstable local conditions might make anything ineffective or worsen it.
