Devil's Woodyard, Mud volcano in Hindustan, New Grant near Princes Town, Trinidad and Tobago.
The Devil's Woodyard features multiple vents releasing gases and mud, forming mounds that continuously bubble and release earthy materials from underground.
The first recorded eruption in 1852 caused substantial ground movement, knocked down numerous trees, and led to the evacuation of local Amerindian inhabitants.
Local residents named the site after their interpretation of the 1852 eruption, believing supernatural forces were responsible for the ground disturbances.
Visitors can access the site through local roads, with designated parking areas and informational signs explaining the geological processes at work.
Scientific research indicates that the mud volcano experiences major eruptions approximately every 29 years, with recent activity in February 2018.
