Famed for its medieval walled city, Azerbaijan has a lot of history behind it, both good and bad. But being a sort of crossroads of Southwest Asia and Southeastern Europe it also has some pretty amazing and often unusual things to see…

It might not look like one of the most dangerous places in the world to visit, but while it mostly bubbles and pops harmlessly every few years it erupts squirting hot, burning mud over a massive 15 kilometres radius in every direction! You do not want to be around what that happens.
