and I know yes I really fucking know that Azerbaijan does not have any volcanoes!

Lol, it doesn't, indeed. Though I love these Martian landscapes. It is also connected to the past of Azerbaijan, historically known as a stronghold of fire-worshippers.

My dream is to trip in these settings, lol. In Georgia, they have a piece of this arid nature, called Vashlovani National Park, where you can camp for a fee (never been but always wanted) https://nationalparks.ge/en/site/vashlovaninp the prices are outdated, it might be like 15$ a day for renting a tent + camping site. However, doubt they serve freedom caps there :D But as I heard, you can find them in the mountains, like in numerous fields around Kazbegi Town. Vashlovani National Park is isolated and fantastic - really want to go there - maybe in 2026.
