Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan and the Caspian Sea are home to nearly four hundred mud volcanoes, more than half the world's total.
Azeri mud volcano erupted in 2001 at 15 km outside the Azerbaijani capital Baku. There was an explosion, and 300 m flames were emitted. The largest flames burned for about five minutes.
