The mud is cold and usually does not pose any danger to the surroundings. The Mud Volcanoes in Qobustan are known for their otherworldly appearance, with small cones formed by the dried mud deposits. The area is scattered with numerous mud volcanoes of varying sizes, with some reaching heights of up to several meters. Visitors to the site can witness the bubbling mud pits and observe the mud slowly oozing out of the ground, creating a surreal and mesmerizing landscape.

About Baku

Baku is Azerbaijan's capital on the Caspian Sea, where a walled medieval old town sits beside oil-era mansions and glass towers shaped like flames.

The walled Old City, Icherisheher, is a UNESCO-listed maze of lanes with the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, both medieval. Beyond the walls, grand mansions from the oil boom of the late nineteenth century line the streets, and a long boulevard runs beside the Caspian. The three Flame Towers glow on the skyline, and Zaha Hadid's curving Heydar Aliyev Centre is a landmark of modern architecture.
