This article presents original data on the content and distribution of major and rare earth elements into the waters phases from 26 mud volcanoes within the Kerch-Taman region. According to the chemical composition of the studied mud volcanic waters are represented by Na-Cl and Na-HCO3-Cl types, and the Cl/Br, Na/Cl, and Y/Ho ratios specify three main genetic groups of volcanoes. It was found that the rare-earth element contents in the aqueous phase of mud volcanoes are low (fractions of μg/L) a
