Actually, the Darvaza Gas Crater is a remnant of a 1971 man-made disaster, a drilling operation gone horribly wrong.
A Soviet drilling platform crashed into a major gas reserve, releasing toxic gases (as well as demons of the underworld, but the Soviets were excellent at keeping secrets). Their solution to the problem? Light it on fire. And burning it has been ever since. Who knows when the underground fires will ever be put out.
