Mud volcanoes in the Buzau area, in Romania.

This is a video made in the famous location in Romania, called Pâclele Mari de la Berca. In this strange world you can hear only silence, interrupted only by sounds of gas bubbles emanating through fissures in earth from down below. If you make a single photograph, you can catch a bubble or two, which appear on the surface of the mud volcano, though a serial of about 30 photographs helps to imagine this natural phenomena much better. "PLOP".

Attention: the video has no sound added!

In plus I add same still pictures in order to create the meaningful image of the area.

   An extinct mud volcano. It'd dyes has paled through being exposed to atmosphere.

 A live volcano cone emanating both gas and mud. In fact the gas carries water-loaded sediments from dawn below to the Earth surface. Mud volcanoes accompany oil and gas deposits.

This happens when gas reaches the surface. The gas is visible just above the bubble. It burns when a set a fire with a lighter. ;-)

A cloud of gas clearly visible above the bubble.

In the area are situated: a place for parking a car or a bus and and a place to erect a tent. Water closet, shower and a bar are included.
