Summary
Description Pakistan Mud Volcanoes.jpg |
English:
This natural-colour image shows the most dramatic group of mud volcanoes in the area, known as the Changradup Complex, Pakistan. The tallest
mud volcano
, Changradup I, is about 100 meters high, and it has a 15-meter diameter
mud
lake
in its crater that periodically overflows. Some of these overflows have darkened the north-western flanks. A second crater emerges from the southern flanks of Changradup, but it is not currently active. The 45-meter Chandragup II lies north-east of the taller cone, and its crater is filled by a mud lake with a figure-8 shape, probably the result of twin volcanoes whose craters collapsed into each other over time. To the north-west of Changradup I, the eroded rim of an extinct mud volcano is visible; its eastern rim is more noticeable than its western rim.
