Pamukkale’s Thermal Pools and Beyond

Pamukkale’s Thermal Pools and Beyond

So we’re up on Pali aeropolis that’s what the runes are and these are well they’re they’re patries this is made of mineral it looks like it’s snow and water it is not snow you don’t see anybody skiing you do see hot air balloons it looks like

Ski um but that’s that’s Solid Rock a solid white Rock I’ll leave in the description what the rocks made of there’s 10 or 12 different components I saw in the the guide book we have but I’ll make sure I get that in the book for

You and you can just see it goes on for a while in the valley mountains in the background we were down there it’s where the Gees were if you saw the other video I’ll leave that link in the description too and as you see the steam is coming

Up cuz again it’s probably it might be almost 50° now it’s getting a little bit warmer but it’s pretty amazing I got to imagine thousand years ago that this area was pretty not looking like this it was probably a bit different and then an earthquake hit in

The 7th century and flattened it and it changed civilization in this area I I got to imagine that it was pretty pretty bad because there was not much above ground except the big stuff and they might have put a lot of that back together

Pamukkale, meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. It is famous for its unique geological formations and hot springs. The main attraction of Pamukkale is the gleaming white travertine terraces and pools on the mountainside, shaped by the flow of hot, mineral-rich waters.

The terraces and pools have been forming for thousands of years due to a combination of natural and geological factors. The water source emerges from hot springs located beneath the nearby town of Denizli. As the hot mineral-rich waters come to the surface and cool, calcium carbonate precipitates out and forms the travertine deposits that shape the terraces. The natural pressure propels the waters down the slope, where calcium carbonate accumulates and forms pools along the way.

This continuous flow has resulted in bright white shelves along the mountainside shaped by the slow movement of the carbonate-laden waters. The contrast of the white deposits against the green slope is quite spectacular. Pamukkale is now a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, though tourists are still allowed to bathe in the pools on site. Overall, it is a remarkable example of how natural geological processes over time can create beautiful and unique landscapes.

The minerals that make up the deposits are:
Potassium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, Iron Chloride, Aluminum Chloride.
