Mud and Air Volcanoes Luss Macaluba Taman Korabetoff New Island in the Sea of Azof Jokmali Fires of Baku Mud Volcano in Flank of Etna Air Volcanoes of Turbaco, Cartagena, and Galera- Zamba. The curious mud volcano in the Island of Java, described in the preceding chapter, although presenting some peculiar features, is not the only one of the kind in the world.
The accompaniment of fire and smoke makes this eruption more nearly resemble that of a true volcano. There is in the adjacent parts of the Crimea a mountain named Korabetoff, which also presents similar phenomena. On the 6th of August 1853, a column of fire and smoke was seen to rise from the top of this mountain to a great height, and it continued for five or six minutes.
In several of the valleys of Iceland there are similar phenomena, the boiling water and mud being thrown up in jets to the height of fifteen feet and upwards, the mud accumulating around the orifices whence the jets arise. A mud-volcano named Korabetoff, in the Crimea, presents phenomena more akin to those of the igneous volcanoes of South America.
