From Wikipedia

Yanar Dagh (Azerbaijani: Yanar Dağ, lit. 'burning mountain') is a natural gas fire that burns perpetually on a hillside on the Absheron Peninsula near Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, a country known as "the Land of Fire". Flames rise up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) from a thin, porous layer of sandstone. The Yanar Dagh flame burns steadily, fueled by a continuous seep of gas from beneath the surface. Unlike the nearby mud volcanoes of Lokbatan or Gobustan, there is no mud or liquid discharge at Yanar Dagh. Administratively, Yanar Dagh is part of the Absheron District of Azerbaijan. The State Historical-Cultural and Natural Reserve was established on the site by presidential decree on May 2, 2007, and is managed by the State Tourism Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Following a major renovation between 2017 and 2019, the Yanar Dagh Museum and the Cromlech Stone Exhibition were opened within the Reserve.
