Anna Mochnacka: "A stunning landscape in Pamukkale. This dream-like place consists of hot springs that formed sedimentary rock terraces and the bluest warm-water pools. Hard to describe if you are not a scientist, but most definitely one of the most extraordinary geological phenomena you can find on this planet."
