Mud volcanoes
The mud volcanoes of Baku are unlike any other, creating an otherworldly terrain dotted with small cones, pools of bubbling mud, and ever-shifting landscapes. It's a sight that resembles something out of a science fiction novel as if the Earth itself is sighing and exhaling ancient secrets through the mud.
As you approach, you'll be greeted by the faint gurgles and sputters of the mud as it continuously boils and bubbles. The thick, greyish mud, rich in minerals, emerges from the depths, offering a glimpse into the Earth's hidden treasures. Some of these mud volcanoes even sporadically erupt, releasing plumes of mud into the air, creating a spectacle that is as captivating as it is surreal.
