Amazing footage has emerged from Turkmenistan of a man camping next to the massive crater of fire known as the "Door To Hell".

The video, filmed in Derweze last year, shows the decades-old burning gas crater, which the filmer camped beside overnight.

The "Door to Hell" was originally a Soviet natural gas field but it collapsed in the 70s, becoming a constantly-burning crater.

Here's what the locals of Turkmenistan have suitably dubbed the 'Door To Hell'. It's a massive crater of fire which hasn't stopped burning for almost 50 years. I camped beside this sinister inferno on a trip into the Karakum Desert and as you can see, it's a mesmerising sight after dark! If only I had some marshmallows...
