Mud volcanoes
A landscape that surprises
Gas rising from underground brings mud to the surface, creating small craters and unusual formations across this striking landscape.
Cold grey mud rises and pops from the ground in a landscape that seems borrowed from somewhere else entirely.
Azerbaijan’s mud volcanoes are a natural gas phenomenon: gas pushes groundwater and clay to the surface, building small cones that bubble quietly. The ground is soft and uneven, and the visit is short.
