Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Here we are at last, at the mud volcanoes, and they look rather nondescript from a distance. Closer views including videos appear immediately after this, but this was a true wonder of nature I'd never seen before and I was only too happy to get here. Over a thousand mud volcanoes are known to exist in the world, and some 400 of those are in the coastal area of Azerbaijan.While mud volcanoes (also known as “sedimentary volcanoes”) never grow to the size of a normal volcano, topping out at around 10 km in diameter and 700 meters in height, (among the largest mud volcanoes in the world are Boyuk Khanizadagh and Turaghai, both in Azerbaijan) they do occasionally get the chance to show off, as happened in 2001. These ones appeared placid enough and were bubbling away quite harmlessly. (Gobustan, Azerbaijan, Sept. 2017) |
