Monomad Contest - "The Moon-like area" of the Paclele Mari

ileana56 (60)in #esteem • 6 years ago

The first people on the "Moon"?? Of course not! There are people walking on the Moon-like area of mud volcanoes, Paclele Mari .

>If you do not know and have not seen, let me tell you that this is the place where Devil built its cauldrons of boiling tar; muddy earth gurgles and boils, colder than the ice and blacker than the smog; then, out of gapping mouths, as wide as the entire valley where there is no draining, the mud jutes out, now as small as an ant, now as tall as an iris, and what's more, at each of the dome's mouth frothing mounds were built through which the Devil blabbers out the mud. Out of the abyss, down the hills, the dirty mud leaks out, parched and cracked by the sun, and the imbued earth is no place either for the knotgrass or for the thistle,' writer Alexandru Odobescu (1834-1895) describes the area of the mud volcanoes in his 'Pseudokinegetikos,' a false hunting treatise.

Thank you for stopping by and for the comment! In those last pictures are detailed views of the mud vulcanoes from Romania. The term “mud volcano” defines a slow or sudden mud eruption followed by gas emissions or even petroleum releases.
As the gases erupt towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles.
