Badlands of Cappadocia

by Gert Verstraeten, KU Leuven, division of Geography, Leuven, Belgium

The badlands of Cappadocia offer a spectacular landscape that is the result of natural erosion processes that have been in operation for over tens of thousands of years in volcanic deposits from nearby Mt Erciyes. Although the region is well-known for its fairy chimneys, many other fascinating landscapes can be found such as this one.
