Mud Volcano Akpatlavuk

Mud Volcano Akpatlavuk

In Southwestern Turkmenistan operates one of the most active and significant mud volcanoes of the Earth, Akpatlavuk. Reaching a height of about eighty meters, a large hill with uneven edges enchants with its beauty.

The name of the volcano means “White volcano”. If you climb to the top of the hill, you will see picturesque dome rises formed by powerful eruptions of mud. In the center of this dome is a wide, about one hundred and fifty meters in diameter, crater lake with active gas and mud springs.

Although the volcanic magma boils intensely, it remains cold; everyone can feel it by immersing their hands in the seething stream.

There was an application for healing magma in the sanatoriums of Turkmenistan.
