Cultural Day: Gobustan & Mud Volcanoes

During Pre-Service Training last October, one of our cultural field-trips was to Gobustan National Park (Qobustan Milli Parkı) and a group of nearby mud volcanoes (palçıg vulkanı).  As the one of the last pictures attests, it was incredibly muddy.

I went back in April, and it was substantially drier, though no less entertaining.  With better footing, I was able to submerge my hand in a mud volcano with minimal risk of falling in, and it might have been a placebo effect, but I swear that the skin on that hand felt smoother after.

Next time, mud mask.
