Thank you.

An ecstatic truth moment for Herzog. They were reigniting the wells that would seep into a bigger lake and thus cause a bigger problem so they burned out the wells before it hit the lake of oil. But the deep truth is what Werner shows us.

Thank you very much for your comment, that´s exactly why I loved this scene. The Ecstatic Lessons in Darkness ;)

I read they reignited them just because Herzog asked them to.

My understanding is that the pollution from fire is less bad than pollution from raw oil.

But raw oil straight out from the ground is a natural as oil can ever be?

Life without fire is like life without madmen.
