From this point you can admire a geological process that began a few millennia ago: cold clayey mud mixed with hydrocarbons rises from the subsoil, which, drying up, builds up to a few meters high volcanic-looking cones.

Interesting experience, I'm not from the area and I didn't know them but they were a nice discovery! Visit accessible to all. Well maintained area.

miniature volcano; the imposing bulk of Vesuvius humbled to the pygmy size of a molehill; reduce the crater to the capacity of a very average funnel; the lakes of boiling lava, for which the volcanoes of Java are famous, are not a few spoonfuls of salty mud, and the formidable eruptions become the release at intervals of a few gallons of carburated hydrogen gas which throw a few pills of mud into the air: and here you are represented live a sauce, or rather one of the eruptive cones that are grouped together with a sauce.
