It doesn't matter where hell is. What matters is that you avoid it at all costs.
Jesus alone can save you from hell. You must first acknowledge your sin to Him, turn from it (willingly reject sin), and trust in His finished work on the cross.
Once you have that faith, Jesus says, "Truly, truly I tell you, the one who hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and does not come under judgment, but has passed from death to life." (John 5:24)

Hell is the common grave. All of us go there. Don't worry. It is not a bad place.
Jer. 7: 31 talks of apostate Judeans who burned their children in a fire as sacrifices. A thing that had never come in to God's heart and never ordered.
1 John 4: 8 shows , "God is love."
Why do we die? Romans 6: 7 shows "The wages sin pays is death."
What happens when we die? Eccles. 9: 5, 10 the dead are not able to feel or think anything at all. How could they feel pain or joy? Ps. 146: 4 confirms this saying "in that day his thoughts do perish."
So, whether below or above ground, cremated, buried at sea, or shot into space--that is hell--the common grave.

They talk of bad smelling gases of Hell, and well, there's supposed to be sulfur (and that stinks) and boiling hot lava and molten rock under the earth, but wait.....I don't really believe there is a little devil with a pitchfork under the earths crust. Hell is a state of mind and if you get sent to Hell because you are bad, I'd imagine its somewhere south of Heaven. But only God knows.

It's in your imagination.
Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

THEORY HAS IT --
THAT HELL IS WAY DOWN UNDER THE SEA, VERY DARK WITH BURNING FIRE THAT IS TOO HOT TO BARE.
HEAVEN IS WAY UP ABOVE WHERE THERE IS PLENTY OF SUNSHINE, YOU CAN DANCE ON THE CLOUDS AND EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS HAPPY.
