Hell's Gate
Underworld's fiery portal
Hell's Gate is a place name applied to various dramatic natural features around the world—typically narrow gorges, volcanic areas, or treacherous water passages where the terrain suggests danger or an entrance to the underworld.
Notable examples include a geothermal park in Kenya, a gorge in British Columbia, and a tidal passage in New York's East River.
The name evokes both physical peril and mythological imagery of the boundary between the living world and the realm of the dead.
