Admire the world's most beautiful eternal fire

Perhaps grouped by indigenous peoples thousands of years ago, the eternal fire in New York, the United States is still burning with a natural geological process that has never been recorded before, and seems beautiful beyond its mysteries .

According to researcher Arndt Schimmelmann of Indiana University (USA), this is one of the few hundred natural eternal flames in the world, burning forever thanks to a source of gas leaked deep down from the face. Despite this group, the fire in New York is still very special. Often, the gas used to maintain it is thought to have originated from an inconvenient stone (shale rock) that was deep in the earth and extremely hot.

Its temperature can boil water or much hotter, enough to separate carbon molecules in the shale and create smaller molecules of natural gas. However, for the fire in New York, the stone provided fuel for it to be just as hot as a cup of warm tea; therefore, perhaps the gas to maintain this eternal flame originates from another process, whereby a certain catalyst has produced gas from organic molecules in the slate.

Initially, Schimmelmann's research team only took on the duties of the US Department of Energy to estimate the total amount of methane that leaked to the ground in the eastern US region. They also received additional help from Giuseppe Etiope, a world expert on gas and permanent flames in Italy's geophysical and volcanic institute.

The research team not only tested the eternal flame in the Chestnut Ridge park, west of New York and called it the "world's most beautiful eternal fire" , but also to Cook Forest Park in northwestern Pennsylvania, where there is also another fire, however, the fire here is not as special as in New York because its supply is also a well of ancient gas.
