Azerbaijan

About Azerbaijan

Perched where the Caucasus Mountains meet the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan is often called the Land of Fire for the natural gas flames that flicker from its hillsides. Its capital, Baku, blends medieval walled-city lanes with futuristic flame-shaped towers, and the surrounding Absheron Peninsula has drawn oil prospectors since the nineteenth century. Carpets, tea culture, and ancient petroglyphs round out one of Western Asia's most distinctive countries.

• ·Baku is the lowest-lying national capital on Earth, sitting roughly 28 meters below sea level on the Caspian shore.
• ·Azerbaijan is often credited with more mud volcanoes than any other country, with hundreds scattered across its land and the nearby Caspian Sea.
• ·The Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan is completely separated from the rest of the country by Armenian territory.
