I did not know about the "portal to the underworld" until I stumbled upon this thread. I just did a quick research on Google and found that there has been a lot of research on this topic and this is purely a geological phenomenon. The Gate to Hell was formed over the period of 400,000 years.

How is it even possible, I thought that heaven and hell are places that are unreachable to human beings. Have you seen it or heard of anyone who has ever gone to hell and came back.

No need to worry. The article was just stating how ancient people thought it was the passage to hell because people kept dying when they went down there. But, it was actually a high dosage of carbon dioxide that was killing the people and animals.
