“I don’t know much about the Napan mud volcano, other than there are two clusters of active vents. I’m not sure which vent erupted today,” said geomechanics & pore pressure specialist, Mark Tingay.

Napan mud volcano is just across the border, and only 350 – 1 200 m away (1 150 – 4 000 feet), from the larger and better known Oesilo mud volcano (Poto Oesilo) in East Timor.
