SloveniaThe article describes an unusual geological phenomenon in Azerbaijan, near the capital Baku, where mud volcanoes emerge from the ground. These formations resemble scenes from science fiction films, with bubbling mud, gas emissions, and cone-shaped structures creating a surreal landscape. The area around Gobustan is noted for having the highest concentration of mud volcanoes globally, with at least 220 documented and possibly over 350. Scientists study these phenomena to understand their connection to tectonic activity, underground geological structures, and hydrocarbon deposits. Research into mud volcanism is ongoing at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics under Azerbaijan's National Academy of Sciences.
