Gateway to hell?

(Probably actually a wildfire, but it looks like a gateway to hell.)

If it's not something on the theme of 'Inferno', I will have badly misjudged human nature.

If memory serves me correctly, Gateway to Hell. It is that hole in the ground in Russia that's been burning for ~40 years now, right?

It's called "big enough to deserve an LJ-cut and a 'huge picture' warning"?

Fire?

The picture, before you put it behind the cut, didn’t come out huge on my friends list, fwiw.

The displayed size was small, but the browser was still downloading a huge picture.

You are totally right. I didn’t notice the file size because I often find LJ loads slowly, and the image was not one that over-ran all margins and ate screen.

An endless "loading please wait" gif?

I know what it is - the big fire pit in Russia that has been burning for many years - but a smaller or more compressed image might have been a good idea.

I visited the site in 2006, and it's absolutely stupendous. A tremendous waste of natural gas, but an unforgettable experience to visit. At night, flocks of birds circle around hunting the flying insects attracted by the light, and from a distance they seem to blink in and out of existence like formations of UFOs.

The Door to Hell. I posted a pic of that a while back; apparently they're trying to close it now.

Pretty damn impressive; first time I saw it I thought it was a volcano.

[livejournal.com profile] major_clanger visited this hole in 2010. His photos are most impressive.
