“The 12.004 (La Douce) is a steam locomotive that has traveled around the world four times, affectionately known as "La Douce" by its owner Leon Van Bel. It is inspired by the Atlantic type 12 engine, designed for Belgian railroads in the late 1930s, which was known for its speed and aerodynamic design. One of these locomotives broke the world speed record for steam trains in 1939, reaching 165 km/h. The 12.004 (La Douce) has a rich history and is preserved as a symbol of steam locomotion, featured in a graphic novel and showcased in the Train World museum in Belgium.”

A mud volcano is a landform created by the eruption of mud, water and gases. The mud is heated deep below the surface and is forced upwards through a geological fissure due to subterranean pressure imbalances. They can be as large as 700m high and 10 km wide. Their temperatures can reach nearly 100 °C. – WTF Fun Facts
