New Delhi: Volcanoes and volcanic eruptions: we associate these words with mighty natural phenomena which change the face of the Earth.
They take us back to those distant times when the Earth was a lifeless planetary body on which the elements of fire and water raged.
Azerbaijan does not have a single active volcano, but they do have mud volcanoes which instead of ash and lava, burst out mud.
It is not particularly dangerous to be there unless of course you are there at the wrong time.
