Baku, March 9, AZERTAC

Many visitors to Azerbaijan may not know that the country has the highest number of mud volcanoes in the world. 350 to be exact. One of the best known is Garasu Volcano, that has been known to spew mud over 1,000 metres into the air. The volcanoes are caused when gases under the earth build up and push the mud high into the air as a release. The first mud volcanoes are said to have erupted in Azerbaijan 25 million years ago, and visitors to Garasu often say that it looks like the surface of the moon.
