Fairy Chimneys, Turkey | #Geology #GeologyPage #Turkey

These strange conical spires are found in the Cappadocia region of Turkey.

Several million years ago, active volcanoes spewed volcanic ash that covered the ground. Rainwater and wind eroded the soft compressed volcanic ash, leaving behind the harder overlying basalts, forming the fairy chimneys.
