Wandan mud volcano in southern Taiwan erupted again on the 6th July.
This is the 9th eruption of the mud volcano in the last two years. The eruption was from 4 different vents.

Best with sound on!
These three vents are located ~50m to the SE of the mud volcano temple and are common recent eruption points in the last few years.

This fourth vent is located ~30m west of the temple, and has also erupted multiple times recently.

I visited Wandan mud volcano in December. You can see all of the vents that erupted in their normal quiescent state in this thread.
