Wandan, #Taiwan
Crowds gather to watch the eruption of a mud volcano. It was the second eruption this year. Local officials said three eruption vents were identified, two of them newly formed, with mud flows affecting nearby gardens and red bean fields.Photograph: Cheng-Chia Huang/Zuma Press/Shutterstock

Martian Mud Volcanoes
Mars features mounds that resemble our terrestrial mud volcanoes, suggesting that a similar form of mudflow occurs on Mars. But Mars’ thin atmosphere and frigid temperatures mean that water — a prime ingredient of any mud — is almost always in either solid or gaseous form on the planet. So researchers explored whether salty muds could flow under Martian conditions. They tested a variety of salts, at different concentrations, in a low-pressure chamber calibrated to Mars-like temperatures and pressures. The salts lowered water’s freezing point, allowing the muds to remain fluid. Even a relatively small amount of sodium chloride — 2.5% by weight — allowed muds to flow far. The team also found that the salt content affected the shape the flowing mud took, with flows ranging from narrow, ropey patterns to broad, even sheets. (Image credit: P.

I still wonder if this is possible.

Fireball “mud volcano” in Caspian Sea
On July 4, news started circulating about a huge explosion in the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan captured on video. The first information was relayed by the state oil company, SOCAR, to the Russian news agency saying the explosion was real and probably caused by a “mud volcano”.
To some people, that seemed a bit suspicious. Mud volcanoes erupt mud, not a giant tower of flame. And, after the Gulf of Mexico “eye of fire” caused by a gas leak just two days earlier, perhaps this oil company was covering up another accident.
The Gulf of Mexico water fire was caused by a gas leak.In short order, however, we did have confirmation that this was an eruption of Dashly island, located about 30 km from the coast in Azerbaijan.
The mud volcano in the Caspian Sea (Azerbaijan) is still active. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Emergency has stated that "Currently, the weather is windy and strong waves do not allow ships to approach the shore. As soon as the waves subside, ships will enter the area.” pic.twitter.com/QGOqWObSUr

The rock under the sea here is loaded with hydrocarbons. Oil and gas are mined but the gas is released naturally and sometimes explosively. It is unclear what caused the gas to ignite but that can also happen naturally. The best source of accurate info on these strange and scary mud volcanoes is petroleum geologist Mark Tingay. His Twitter feed provided solid info on what could be happening until local officials could confirm what had happened.
I admit, the mud volcano explanation seemed wrong to me too when I saw it but one of the best things about the Internet is the ability to access ACTUAL EXPERTS who provide a credible information feed. I am most grateful to Dr. Tingay who was so on the ball with this story.
Ah, you gotta love twitter.
Physician with 115k followers: It is not a mud volcano.
Me, who has studied mud volcanoes for decades: Here is a huge bunch of evidence indicating that it really could be a mud volcano.

It is also not the first time a fireball exploded. I found this documentation from an eruption in 1958 in a nearby location. This explosion was potentially supersonic. Wow.

Most mud volcanoes look like this on land, hence the confusion.
