You step out of the private car onto sun-warmed clay and the ground beneath seems to breathe—little cones hiss and bubble as cold mud is forced up from far below, shaping miniature craters that glint with salt. The Berca mud volcanoes isolate themselves against low scrub, each cone an eccentric sculptor of Earth’s quiet chemistry.
