Driving home from the beach where I’ve been with some of my new colleagues for a swim in the sea and barbecue in the sand (sorry no pictures). It’s about 9 o'clock at night and just getting dark, we pull into a shoddy looking car park to see Yanar Dag?
Yanar Dag or the "Fire Mountain", is a naturally occurring and visually stunning fire which blazes continuously, flames shoot into the air from a layer of stone at the base of a hillside.

Azerbaijan has long been known as the 'Land of Fire' and just outside Baku you can see why.
Yes it’s as hot as it looks! Azerbaijan is famous for its oil and gas reserves. There is such a large concentration of natural gas under the ground hear, that it seeps through porous rocks and burns on the surface!
