One of Azerbaijan's most famous sites is Yanar Dağ (or “Burning Mountain“), a natural glowing fire burning on a hillside along the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan is often coined as The Land of Fire, and it isn’t hard to see why. Many of the oldest hearths on earth are found in Azerbaijan. They’ve been leftover from the nation’s Zoroastrian days when they worshipped fire thousands of years ago. In fact, the name Azerbaijan literally means ‘protector of fire.’ If you plan to visit Baku, be sure to take note of the famous ‘flame towers.’ For a nation roughly the size of Austria, Azerbaijan has a staggering amount of volcanoes; around 350 in fact. And these aren’t just any volcanoes; these are mud volcanoes. This makes Azerbaijan the most concentrated nation on earth for mud volcanoes. Some of which date back more than 20 million years.
