„Fântâna Iadului” a fost pentru prima dată explorată de oameni. Localnicii din Yemen consideră gaura din deșert o amenințare pentru Pământ – FOTO, VIDEO

An aerial view taken on June 6, 2021 shows the Well of Barhout known as the "Well of Hell" in the desert of Yemen's Al-Mahra province. 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: 616925753, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no, Credit line: Profimedia
