Yanar Dağ, meaning “Burning Mountain,” is a natural phenomenon on Azerbaijan’s Absheron Peninsula near Baku. Flames reach up to 3 meters high, driven by a steady seep of natural gas through porous sandstone—unlike mud volcanoes, it burns continuously day and night .Known since at least the 13th century (Marco Polo reported similar fires), Yanar Dağ holds deep cultural significance, linked to ancient Zoroastrian fire worship .. Protected as a state historical, cultural and natural reserve since 2007, it now features a visitor center, museum, and boardwalk for safe viewing. Especially enchanting at dusk, it’s a must-visit blend of geology, history, and mystery for travelers.
