I found a Mud Volcano in California

The video follows an expedition to find mud volcanoes near the Salton Sea. Despite challenges like gated roads and flooded areas, the team discovers active mudpots. The geological history of the region, influenced by tectonic activity and sediment deposition, is explored. The Salton Trough's unique conditions make it an ideal location for mudpots.
