The Eternal Flame Falls in New York state overtook its neighbour Niagara in terms of fame in January when a TikTok showing the tiny flame flickering behind a stream of crystal clear water went viral.
All are natural in origin, fuelled by a never-ending supply of gas, coal or oil seeping out from Earth ’s crust.
How they came to be ignited however is often a mystery, and many have been deliberately lit as a symbol of religious significance.
The Jharia coalfield stretches around 110 square miles , and is the main source of India ’s coal.
Not all can be mined however, because it is already burning, having been set alight in 1916 .
The flames have consumed around 37 million tons of coal, causing significant ground subsidence and water and air pollution in local communities.
