Correct answer: Karakum Desert

The Darvaza gas crater has been burning continuously since 1971 in the heart of the vast Karakum Desert, which covers about 70 percent of Turkmenistan. Soviet engineers originally set the gas field on fire to prevent the spread of methane gas, expecting it to burn out in just a few weeks. Photo: Tormod Sandtorv, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0.
