Door to Hell

Darvaz in Uzbekistan is often referred as “The Door to Hell” or “Fire Hole”. The story of this place dates back 35 years ago when geological experts were drilling for natural gas. The geologists unexpectedly found out a big underground cave and could not dare to get deep under the ground because the cavern was filled with gas. Then, they decided to light a fire to prevent the spread of poison gas. The fire surprisingly still burns already for 35 years without any pause and be visible every sunset.

Serra da Leba, Angola

Serra da Leba is the landmark of Angola for many decades. However, evening shot of Huila’s Serra da Leba road is impossible because of the frog at an altitude of 1,800 meters. It takes a car a few minutes to go up and down the road for this awesome shot. When two cars travel in a different direction, the problem is addressed.
