Attractions
Mount Yanardag, located in Azerbaijan, is a unique natural site with a volcanic history. This mountain, whose peak rises to a height of about 640 meters above sea level, is one of the interesting places in the country. One of the distinctive features of Yanardag is the recent release of natural gas through pores in the ground, which creates flames on the slopes of the mountain. These natural gas springs have been known since ancient times and are the reason why the place received the name "Burning Mountain". The flames escaping from cracks in the ground create an impressive view and make Mount Yanardag a unique phenomenon.
Gobustan mud volcanoes are an amazing natural site located in Azerbaijan. This is a unique place where nature has demonstrated its amazing power and created stunning landscapes. Mud volcanoes are outlets of hot mud mixed with gases that rise to the surface from the bowels of the Earth. This creates an impressive spectacular effect in the form of bubbling and boiling sources of mud erupting to the surface. Such volcanoes can be active, releasing clouds of thick steam and associated gases.
Petroglyphs are ancient images and designs carved or carved into rock surfaces, often within exposed rock walls or rock formations. These ancient arts are a unique archaeological heritage that reflects the cultural and religious aspects of ancient societies. Petroglyphs include a variety of images such as scenes from everyday life, images of animals, abstract patterns, symbols and anthropomorphic figures. Their style and content may vary depending on the period in which they were created and the culture that created them.
