The crater was created in the early 1970s when a team of Soviet Geoscientists identified the area as a potential oil field site but it turned out to be a natural gas field instead. Upon drilling, the ground beneath it caved into a wide crater and disappeared. Later, geologists set ablaze the 230-foot-wide crater to prevent the spread of methane gas and it has burned continually ever since.
