is there a place called the ring of fire in turkmenistan?

Turkmenistan is a nation in central Asia. As the name suggests they speak a Turkic language. It is bordered by Afghanistan to the southeast, Iran to the south and southwest, Uzbekistan to the east and northeast, Kazakhstan to the northwest and the Caspian Sea to the west.

Presumably you mean the crater which resulted from Soviet geologists drilling into the earth's crust and which has been burning for more than 40 years in the Karakum Desert near Derweze about 260 km. from the Turkmenistan capital of Ashgabat.

Locals call it the Door to Hell.

The Door to Hell:

It is a crater made by geologists more than 40 years ago, and the flames within have been burning ever since.

Welcome to Derweze in Turkmenistan - or, as the locals have called it, 'The Door to Hell'.

Soviet geologists were drilling at the site in 1971 and tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas.

But the ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a hole with a diameter of 70 metres.

Fearing that the hole would lead to the release of poisonous gases, the team decided to burn it off.

The hole is located in Derweze, in the middle of the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan

It was hoped that the fire would use all the fuel within days, but the gas

is still burning today.

The flames generate a golden glow which can be seen for miles around Derweze, a village with a population of about 350.

The site is about 260 kilometres north of Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan.

I hope this is helpful.
