⚒️🧪 The Wandan mud volcano in southern Taiwan erupted again yesterday (12/11/25)!
The eruption occurred at 3 vents. Sadly one vent was under a house.
This is its 11th eruption in the last ~3 years, most recently in June 2025.

Another video from 張寶惠.
The eruptions are lit by the locals to flare off the methane gas bursting out with the mud.

⚒️🧪 I thought I’d lost this great mud volcano eruption video but I just found it again!
I do not recommend ever driving a boat over the eruption like this person did! There is a lot of methane being released, which can ignite.
