Gapjag is a city in western Turkmenistan, located near the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, famous for its unique natural wonder, the "Gates of Hell" (Dawazha gas crater). The approximately 70-meter diameter flaring pit has been burning for more than 50 years since its accidental ignition in 1971, making it one of the most spectacular geological wonders in the world and attracting many explorers and tourists. As an important energy-related town in Turkmenistan, Jipjak is surrounded by abundant natural gas resources and the local industry is dominated by energy development. Although small, the city is an iconic location on the tourist map of Turkmenistan due to its unique view of the "Gates of Hell", which showcases the country's unique natural and industrial features.
