Reply to comment by oceanduciel in TIL A coal seam in Australia is believed to have been burning for 6,000 years, making it the oldest coal fire. The site's name is Mount Wingen but is commonly called Burning Mountain and the fire is traveling south 1m per year discoloring the ground as it goes. by jamescookenotthatone
We have rainforests and deserts; Ski mountains and hot springs; Volcanoes and cedar groves. Don't judge us by Portland and Seattle.

Reply to comment by Thor4269 in TIL that when it's really cold, Chicago sets its railroad tracks on fire to ensure that trains will be able to run properly and get to their destinations on time by leebruce2
It burns gas, it doesn't burn the tracks. You don't say your car burns up the roads just because it burns gas in the engine. (burning up tires is something different!)
