"Cotton
Castle" of Stone
Travertines,
or calcium deposits, made by
hot mineral-laden waters at Pamukkale,
near Denizli in Meander
River valley of Turkey's Aegean
region.
Note the people walking on the
puffy-looking clouds of brilliant
stone. This is an old photo.
The travertines have wisely been closed to
strollers and bathers in order
to preserve them.
But you can still look! As for
swimming, lots of modern
pools at hotels allow
you to splash in the naturally-warm,
calcium-laden waters. |
