It has been branded the 'Gateway to Hell' by superstitious locals.
Geologists are now flocking to study the unique sink hole on the outskirts of Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in north-western China.

The area has been restricted due to the discovery of the phenomenon and scientists are now working to establish its origins. Authorities are now moving in to seal off the opening over fears the toxic fumes could be harmful to locals

Geologist Hu Tan who is leading the investigation into the 80 cm wide hole said:

"The air blasting out of the hole is so hot, that if you hold a branch near to it it bursts into flames.Although it is unusual, we're pretty certain that it has been caused by the spontaneous combustion of coal."
