Digity Mud volcano 28th Feb. 2003 The Digity Mud Volcano is located in a slight saddle separating the Penal and Barrackpore areas. The mudflow covers an area of 5 acres. The cone is 20′ high with mud and gas being ejected very infrequently (22/2/2003) It appears also that the amount of mud being ejected is directly related to the amount of rainfall, since in the dry season little or activity is present. Meteoric water is thus important here.
