On Sunday, social media was filled with videos of a mud explosion in the Tabin Wildlife park. The video grabbed the attention of netizens who were confused at the sight and slightly terrified at what it could mean.

However, the authorities have revealed that the mud explosion is safe and was not hot.

According to BERNAMA, the mud eruption at Lipad Mud Volcano in the Tabin Wildlife Park on Sunday (September 18) , which went viral on social media, was not the first time but had happened before in 2019 and 2014.

Tabin Wildlife Holidays general manager Lawrence Chin said that the incident yesterday was witnessed by about 8 individuals including tourists and tour guides.

“There were tour guides and tourists on their way for bird watching and visiting the surrounding area, suddenly there was a loud explosion and bubbles came out, the incident lasted for about 10 minutes,” he said.

Lawrence clarified that the mud spewed from the eruption was safe and not hot.

Meanwhile, tour guide, Hamit Suban, who witnessed the incident at 10am when he took some foreign tourists for a tour in the Tabin forest area said, “Our first programme after breakfast was to visit the mud volcano area in the Tabin park, I took a group of tourists from the United States to walk 700 metres to the location.”

“When we went up to the observation tower to see birds and other animals, we suddenly heard a loud bang before we found a mud eruption in the area.”

Hamit who has worked as a tour guide since 2005 at Borneo Eco Tours Kinabatangan said that it was the first time he had witnessed the mud eruption.

Another tour guide who has been working in the area for 23 years, said that the mud involved is rich in mineral
resources so much so it attracts animals to the place.

Amrafel Marang said that, “This eruption is not the first time, it happened in 2014 and 2019, only this time it was recorded unlike before.
