Time: 30 minutes. Difficulty: 1. Trailhead: Located at Princess Town . File another one under strange phenomenon. The Devil's Woodyard contains an active mud volcano emitting through surface cracks warm, bubbling mud that forms into a cone as it cools. Some local Hindus hold this to be a sacred spot and worship here. The Devil's Woodyard first erupted in 1852 and until the discovery of another mud volcano in 1964 at Moruga, it was thought to be the only one on the island. Since 1964, eighteen other mud volcanoes have also been located, usually in places where oil is produced. |
