Baku's Farting Mud Volcanoes
Baku, Azerbaijan
PARRRRRP 💨
Excuse you.
Excuse you.
Baku (Azerbaijan’s capital) is surrounded by some 400 odd mud volcanoes.
These rare formations are weak holes in the earth where underground gasses ‘react’ causing oozing, freezing mud to bubble and sometimes explode from the ground. It’s a little like the Orc birthing scene from Lord of the Rings…

You’ll find the mudcanoes in the Gobustan National Park, along with ancient carvings and a “natural musical stone”.
See them fart, plop and belch in all their bizarre beauty.
