From the beginning of new millennium the activation of activity of mud volcanoes is observed. As is known, each new eruption of a volcano brings about destruction of already existing landscape complexes on its surface and to formation new complexes.
In article for the first time the comparison of landscape complexes of Bozdag-Gobu volcano for the different period of time (1972-2007) is given. The changes which have occurred in structure of its landscapes for past 35 years are analyzed. It is noticed, that in numerous eruptions of the given mud volcano for the past period has resulted in change of its landscape appearance. Most brightly it was reflected in crater part of Bozdag-Gobu, where the last stream of fresh breccia has completely obliterated the landscape horizon existing earlier. Least of all the landscapes of ancient breccia have changed. It practically does not differ from environmental semidesert landscapes of region.
Besides of natural factors there is to change of landscape structure of a volcano last years the increased anthropo¬genous activity began to influence.
