Salse di Nirano Mud Volcanoes

Highlight • Volcano

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.

Mud Volcanoes of Salse di Nirano

Highlight • Volcano

Imagine a real volcano in miniature; the imposing bulk of Vesuvius humiliated to the pygmy size of a pile of moles; reduce the crater to the capacity of a very mediocre funnel; the lakes of boiling lava, from which the volcanoes of Java are famous, are not a few tablespoons of salty mud, and the formidable eruptions become the release at intervals of some gallops of carburized hydrogen gas that throw some mud pills into the air: and here is represented live a sauce, or rather one of the eruptive cones that group together with a sauce.
