Summary

[edit]
Description I ventured a little away from the areas where people are allowed to actually walk on the travertines and decided to check out the surrounding countryside. Here is one view. Somewhere deep in the earth beneath Pamukkale and the ancient Roman city of Hierapolis lies a vast source of water heated by volcanic lava. The water dissolves pure white calcium, becomes saturated with it, and carries it to the earth's surface, where it bursts forth and runs down a steep hillside. Cooling in the open air, the calcium precipitates from the water, adheres to the soil, and forms white calcium "cascades" frozen in stone called travertines. (Denizli/ Pamukkale, Turkey, Nov. 2014)
