Formation
How this landscape was actually made
Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys did not appear overnight. Volcanic ash piled up layer on layer, a welded cap of hard rock decided where every pillar would stand, and then rivers and rain carried away everything in between.
We built a page that tells that story from peer-reviewed geology and archaeology, and marks the places where the research still disagrees. Scroll, and the landscape forms in front of you.
