Covering most of Turkmenistan, Karakum Desert (which translates to Black Sand) is one of the largest in Central Asia and on earth. Dominating three-quarters of the region, it is located between the foothills of the Kopet Dag, Karabil and Vanhyz mountain ranges. The main tourist draw is the unusual Darvaza Gas Crater (also known as the Door to Hell), a natural gas field turned crater which has been burning continuously since 1971, when it was set alight by the Soviets.
