Ooh I've seen something similar in Italy somewhere. The fauna is clearly temperate, so if not New Zealand, looking at the silviculture, land use and buildings dotted around we're somewhere more 'civilised' than the wilds of timbuktu.

Temperate zone. High degree of managed land suggests a reasonably populous area, both Italy and New zealand would cover that.

It's very interesting, all the same.

That was where I was headed, but when we toured 8 years ago they were more 'mud pools occasionally farting' than proper mud geysers...

Nicely done! It's Italy, very close to Modena/ Fiorano. I'd recommend it as something different if you're seeing the Ferrari
museum etc. First time I had seen mud volcanoes.

Well cut me legs off and call me shorty, I'm impressed with myself. Its why I love this thread, I love the environment, architecture, topography and geography aspects so can formulate a damn good guess.

Haven't had the opportunity to grab the pics I wanted, life getting in the way of enjoyment, plus someone is busy kicking my ant hill so again throw the floor open to anyone who has somethign they really want to post up.

Can you tell us a bit more about the muddy snout? I think (not sure) they're hot springs in very soily areas creating the hot mud.

I was impressed with the answer!

There is a number of different ways you can create mud volcanoes. These ones (in Salse di Nirano) are created by the surfacing of salt water and mud mixed with gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons. The name "Salsa"- from Latin salsus - comes from the "salt" content of these muddy waters, ancient heritage of the sea that about a million years ago was occupying the current Po Plain. The "Salse" may take the shape of a cone or a level-pool according to the density of the mud.

19 minutes - yes.
Bodinnick to Fowey. £4.80 for a 5 minute journey but it saves a very long road trip (c.16 miles) and is an undeniably peaceful way to travel.

Used it a few times over the years (holiday and work) but not for some time. Fancied it looked less fragile.

Back in a mo.

Edit.
