From what I read 35 years ago some engineers found an underground chamber full of gas so they ignited it so no poisonous gas would escape. It’s been burning ever since.
Looks like the chamber is now exposed so it’s a massive hole in the ground filled with fire.

Hawking has indicated that he is almost certain that alien life exists in other parts of the universe and uses a mathematical basis for his assumptions. “To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.” He believes alien life not only certainly exists on planets but perhaps even in other places, like within stars or even floating in outer space. He also warns that a few of these species might be intelligent and threaten Earth. Contact with such species might be devastating for humanity.[32] “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,” he said. He advocated that, rather than try to establish contact, humans should try to avoid contact with alien life forms.[33]
