Pamukkelle
Pamukkale is one of the
most extraordinary natural wonders in
Turkey. The big attraction is a vast
white cliff side with scallop-shaped
basins of water and frozen waterfalls.
It looks as if it's made out of snow or
cloud or balls of cotton. The scientific
explanation is that hot thermal springs
pouring down the hillside deposit
calcium carbonate, which solidifies as
travertine.
