Wonders of Nature - Mud Volcanoes of Azerbaijan
Description:
A fantastic landscape of more than 30 amazing fountains, throwing up masses of mud, lava and gases are united in the National Park and are the property of not only Azerbaijan, but also a value for the whole world.
More recently, these amazing natural monuments were included in the list of “Seven New Wonders of the World”. This step is a recognition of the uniqueness of the natural phenomenon, which causes both fear and admiration at the same time. Almost half of such volcanic formations in the world are located on the ancient land of Azerbaijan.
Unique landscapes form an extraordinary picture very reminiscent of the lunar valley.
Strange, grayish-black craters, uneven surface, sediments of various shapes and thicknesses. The landscape is definitely unearthly.
Many tourists visiting volcanoes, spewing mud streams from the bowels, are photographed for memory next to numerous craters. They are proud to say they were on the moon.
