Fairy Chimneys

On the high plateau of central Anatolia in Turkey, in the Cappadocia region in particular, you will feel the great charm and beauty that this unique experience gives you. You will see a lot of wondrous scenery here such as rocks, peaks and chimneys that look like mushrooms. How can geology explain such a surreal phenomenon? ? . The stacks are the result of a geological process that began millions of years ago, when volcanic eruptions rained ash across what would eventually become Turkey. This ash solidified on the hilltops, producing porous rock overlaid with a layer of basalt. Finally, the long work of erosion began, and these enchanting landscapes were created over the course of thousands of years.
