An aerial view taken on June 6, 2021 shows the desert of Yemen's Al-Mahra province where the Well of Barhout known as the "Well of Hell" is located. Closer to the border with Oman than to the capital Sanaa 1,300 kilometres (800 miles) away, the giant hole in the desert of Al-Mahra province is 30 metres wide and thought to be anywhere between 100 and 250 metres deep. Local folklore says it was created as a prison for the demons -- a reputation bolstered by the foul odours rising from its depths.,Image: 616925757, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no, Credit line: Profimedia
