The Mud Volcanoes at Memboo.. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘The Mud Volcanoes at Memboo.’
THESE singular objects, in the midst of a little desert of mud, fed by continued streams from the mouths of the volcanoes, are fully described by Professor Oldham in his Report, page 49. The upper sketch is a near view of that seen in the background of the lower, up to which the party have toiled their slippery way. The jet of blueish oily looking mud is seen at the moment of its action, or pulsation, when a portion is thrown over a fissure in the side, and divides into streams in all directions. Lubricated by this new deposit, and the old being re-moistened by the rain, the ascent was most difficult, affording to an attendant group of excited Burmese lads the intensely delightful hope of seeing the ‘kala’ (foreigner) in a sprawl, — as they themselves were frequently.
