Mud Volcanoes
To the East of the Gobustan Museum is a group of active volcanoes Dashgil. You will be able to visit and closely climb the crater of mud volcanoes itself and watch the bubbling of liquid clay. A beautiful landscape, as if you are on the planet Mars (scientists have drawn an analogy and the surface in the area of Gobustan is very similar to the surface of the planet Mars) and the constant mud gurgling creates a feeling of unearthly surface.
