Our world is full of natural miracles, hid in every corner with different
climates. The southern cities and seaports of Iran, laid on the Persian Gulf’s
coastline, and their wonderful islands have got a lot to offer nature lovers
and adventurers.
Gel Afshan is one of the weirdest natural wonders you can
explore around Chabahar Seaport, by the Oman Sea. This mud volcano is located
in Bandar-e Tang, 100 kilometers drive from Chabahar. Climbing a 100-meter high
hill in the middle of a vast barren, you will face a small mud lagoon which
boils and extrudes cold mud bubbles every minute and creates an interesting
sound! Some mud volcanos in the world are the result of volcanic eruptions in
the area, but the mud volcanos of Chabahar are the result of the pressure
between the oceanic crust and the ground beds. That is why the mud bubbles are
not hot. This gray mud contains organic materials and minerals and the local
people believe that bathing in this mud volcano can relieve Arthritis pain and
cure skin disorders.
Chabahar's mud volcano.
Chabahar Seaport and its awesome natural and cultural wonders are still
unexplored by many travelers who seek new destinations. The weather is quite
humid with moderate air temperature during winter so a tour in this beautiful
coastal land with Uppersia would be a good idea.
