Burning mountain

Yanar Dag, or "Burning Mountain," is a natural wonder that has ignited the imaginations of travelers for centuries. This mesmerizing phenomenon, where flames dance eternally upon the earth's surface, evokes a sense of wonder and mystery. 

Yanar Dag is not your typical mountain. Its slopes are devoid of trees and vegetation, yet it is anything but barren. Here, hidden beneath the surface, lies an abundant reserve of natural gas. When this gas escapes to the surface and encounters the oxygen-rich air, it ignites, giving birth to the mesmerizing flames that seem to emerge from the very heart of the earth.

The flames of Yanar Dag are a spectacular sight, particularly when night falls and they cast an enchanting, eerie glow upon the surrounding landscape. The sensation of witnessing an eternal fire on a windswept mountainside is nothing short of magical.

Legend has it that Marco Polo himself was captivated by this mystical phenomenon during his travels, and the flames of Yanar Dag have intrigued explorers and scholars throughout history.
