As the bus rumbled along the dark desert road, the students from the Institute of Manhattan chatted excitedly, their voices blending with the hum of the engine.
"I can't believe we're actually going to see the Gates of Hell!" exclaimed Sarah, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"I know, right?" responded Alex, leaning forward in his seat. "I've seen pictures, but seeing it in person is going to be a whole different experience."
Amidst the enthusiastic chatter, Miley turned to their male guide, who was seated at the front of the bus. "Tell us more about how the Darvaza Crater was formed," she requested, her curiosity evident.
The guide smiled, happy to share the story.
