Bulganak field of mud volcanoes

The Bulganak field contains seven active mud volcanoes that form cone-shaped mounds, releasing gas and mineral-rich sediments through regular eruptions.

Scientists have documented continuous volcanic activity in this location since the early studies of the Kerch Peninsula's geological formations in the nineteenth century.

Local residents share observations of the eruptions through generations, documenting the sounds and changes in the landscape throughout different seasons.

The field remains accessible via road transport from Kerch city, with winter months offering increased chances to witness active mud emissions.

The Central Lake mud dome stands as the largest formation in the group, creating small craters and pools of bubbling mud throughout the year.
