172 The territory of the Kerch Taman mud volcano zone is distinct for high neotectonic activity. Mud vol canoes erupt here both on land and in the Sea of Azov. In the latter case, islands of hundreds of meters in diameter and up to several meters high are formed from eruption products [1]. These islands are short lived though: active water erosion destroys them in the course of several months. Mud volcanoes are located in cryptodiapiric folds in Cenozoic deposits. Folds are grouped into long nar
