Welcome to "The Land of Fire"! Near Baku, on the Absheron Peninsula, lies one of Azerbaijan's most fascinating natural wonders: Yanar Dağ, or "Burning Mountain." This isn't a volcano or a campfire, but a hill from which natural gas flames have been seeping and burning ceaselessly for centuries.
Legend has it that these flames were accidentally created in the 1350s when a shepherd lit a cigarette. But the history of this phenomenon goes back much further. As early as the 13th century, the famous explorer Marco Polo described the flames emerging from the ground here in his writings.
