This Mountain Has Been Burning For 6000 Years
Burning Mountain in Australia, is the location of the world’s oldest underground coal fire, which has been burning for around 6000 years.
Smoking was first observed coming out of the mountain in 1828, and research shows that the coal seam ignited around 6000 years ago, and continues to burn the coal seam at around 1 meter per year.
There are many cracks in the surface which allow cool air to reach the fire below, this intake of air has created a blast furnace effect on the burning coal 30 Mtrs below the surface, raising the temperature of the fire to around 1700 degrees Celsius.
To this day you can see permanent thermals of rising hot air coming out of the summit, and the surrounding dirt & rocks are almost bleached white from the heat.
Thanks for watching.
