The Stunning Travertine Pools of Pamukkale, Turkey
The Stunning Travertine Pools of Pamukkale, Turkey. The travertine pools came to be as a result of thermal water flowing over the cliffside for millennia. The mineral-rich water is largely comprised of calcium bicarbonate which hardens upon cooling. What eventually resulted were the hundreds of natural basins along the cliffside we see today.
