Mud Volcanos are some of the coolest things in the world, despite how creepy they can look.

Formed by the eruption of mud, water, and gasses, they're scattered all over the world both on land and the ocean floor. In fact, you can even sit in some of them and indulge in what is famously called, "a mud bath."

Mud volcanos might not be the same as the volcanos we see spouting lava, but they sure do pack a punch, just ask one of the MH370 search vehicles.

While searching for the missing flight, the deep-sea exploration vehicle was destroyed after colliding into a gigantic mud volcano on the floor of the Indian ocean. As a result of the collision, the vehicle, along with 4,500 metres of cable, was lost forever.
