Abstract
Here is a vintage photograph showing the vent and the cracks of a mud volcano in Trinidad. The phrase "mud-volcano" commonly applies to a relatively violent eruption or surfaces extrusion of watery mud or clay which is almost always accompanied by methane gas, and which generally tends to build up a solid mud or clay deposit around its orifice which may have a conical or volcano-like shape. Trinidad’s mud volcanoes can be found at: Devil’s Woodyard, Hindustan, near Princes Town; Piparo, central Trinidad; Palo Seco, south-east Trinidad; Anglais Point; Digity Village, Penal; the Poole Mud Vent and Chatam Bay, south-east Trinidad.
