25. Mud Volcano, Gobustan, Azerbaijan

            Mud Volcano in Gobustan State Historical and Cultural Reserve which is to the west of the settlement of Gobustan, approximately 64 km (40 miles) southwest of Baku. Azerbaijan has the highest number of mud volcanoes in the world. They are very different to the generally known igneous lava volcanoes and are created by the eruption of mud/slurries, water, and gases (such as methane).  These are mostly cold and harmless but can sometimes be explosive, particularly if the natural gas being released catches fire. Mud and minerals found in mud volcanoes are believed by some by some to have therapeutic properties for a wide range of medical conditions and draws in many visitors for this purpose.  The volcanoes can range in size from small cones to large mountains several kilometres across.
