Lahıc

Azerbaijan is home to a vast variety of landscapes. Over half of Azerbaijan's land mass consists of mountain ridges, crests and plateaus. The rest of Azerbaijan's terrain consists of plains and lowlands. There are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country: The walled city of Baku with the Shirvanshah's Palace and Maiden Tower, as well as the Rock Art Cultural Landscape of Gokustan. You should also go see Neft Daşları, a city above the sea, the first operating offshore oil platform in the world, located 55 km from the nearest shore in the Caspian Sea. Across 300 locations in the country, mud volcanoes erupt, making up more than half the total throughput globally. Caspian Hyrcanian forests can be found near the Iranian border. And finally, Tears of Kyapaz, a string of seven idyllic mountain lakes, are accessible near Mount Kyapaz and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Over a thousand mud volcanoes are known to exist in the world, and some 400 of those are in the coastal area of Azerbaijan. 
Every 20 years or so, one of these mud/gas volcanoes will ignite deep below the surface and create a massive explosion. Mud volcanoes are closely associated with hydrocarbon and petrochemical stores underground, hence the gas trying to escape to the surface.
