In November 2013 George Kourounis arrived in the Turkmenistan desert.
He was determined to become the first person to enter the Darvaza Crater.
The crater is a burning natural gas field that has been on fire for at least 50 years and has become known as the 'Gates of Hell.'
On 6 November, George put on a giant silver aluminium suit and began his descent into the crater.
He says he felt like a giant baked potato!
George shares memories of the adventure with Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty.
