The area of the volcanoes resembles a lunar landscape with craters. It's an interesting spectacle, with gurgling sounds, and mud splashing up from time to time.
The mud is used in the production of cosmetics and medical products, and is said to be healthy for your skin. While we can't vouch for the medical benefits, it's always good fun to smear some mud on your face.
