Goreme National Park, Cappadocia, Turkey

Eroded landscape of Goreme National Park, between Goreme and Uchisar, in Nevsehir province, Cappadocia, Central Anatolia, Turkey. The rock formations here were made by erosion of the volcanic tuff created by ash from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. The Goreme Valley also contains cave dwellings, underground towns and churches, carved out of the rock in the Byzantine period. This area forms part of the Goreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
