Just a few months ago, Sabah newspapers reported an emergence of a mud volcano near the road in Menumbok. People were a bit concern and thought it’s an omen for earthquake. Luckily nothing happened. However, the mud volcano that I’ll show you here is even bigger and more active.<\/p>\n

This mud volcano is probably the most accessible one, as it’s just next to the road<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This mud volcano is about 15.5 KM after the gate of Maliau Basin<\/a> to the direction of Tawau City (GPS:<\/strong> 4.5478012, 117.0619419, see Location Map<\/a> or Street View<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Since we couldn’t see this mud volcano from our car, it took us some times to spot it.<\/p>\n

The mud volcano is in a drain a few Meters down<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This mud volcano is about 6 Meters in diameter, with a mild surface upwelling of mud, water and natural gas bubbles.<\/p>\n

Even though it is at the roadside, where hundreds of cars passing by every day, very few know about it because it is at the bottom of a drain.<\/p>\n

\"Collecting<\/a>
This mud volcano isn’t inside a private property, so anyone can collect mud from it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
