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.

The Ateshgah Fire Mountain in Azerbaijan is a unique natural gas fire phenomenon that has been burning for centuries. Located in the suburb of Surakhani in Baku, the fire mountain is fed by natural gas seeping through the ground, which ignites when it comes in contact with air. The flames of the fire mountain have been burning continuously, creating a mesmerizing display of fire and flames that have fascinated visitors for generations. The site is considered a sacred place by Zoroastrians and Hindus, who believed the fires held mystical and spiritual significance. Today, the Ateshgah Fire Mountain is a popular tourist attraction and serves as a reminder of Azerbaijan's rich cultural and geological heritage.
Yanardag, also known as the "fire mountain," is a natural gas fire that continuously burns on a hillside in Azerbaijan. The flames are believed to have been burning for thousands of years, fueled by the natural gas reserves in the area. The flames shoot up to a height of 2 meters and can be seen for miles around, especially at night when the fiery glow illuminates the sky.
