Mud Volcano at Devil’s Woodyard 2018

In 2018 the Devil’s Woodyard mud volcano on the 13th February 2018 erupted twice spewing mud and gas some six metres into the air, while the disc of mud expanded to cover an area approximately 100 metres in diameter from the centre of the eruption. a French researcher had collected data which seemed to suggest the Devil’s Woodyard erupts on an average of every 29 years. Even though residents were allowed to stay in the area near the Devil’s Woodyard mud volcano, Princes Town Regional Corporation chairman Gowrie Roopnarine advised the general public to stay away from the area for at least two weeks, as the mud was still in a semi-liquid state.
