Description
A view of the awesome landscape of Fairy Chimneys in Cappadocia, Turkey. We hiked along these amazing mountainous formations in this desert like land and were astounded as we turned each bend to see another awesome view came into sight.
Ancient volcanic eruptions blanketed this region with thick ash, which solidified into a soft rock—called tuff—tens of meters thick. Wind and water went to work on this plateau, leaving only its harder elements behind to form a fairy tale landscape of cones, pillars, pinnacles, mushrooms, and chimneys, which stretch as far as 130 feet into the sky.
