Admire the magnificent natural marvels

Part of the Earth's treasures are unique geological formations, completely the product of nature and untouched by man.

Danxia Geomorphology, China: Formed from agglomeration and red sandstone during the Cretaceous Period, many unique landforms are found in southeast, southwest, and northwest China. The main features of these landforms are steep cliffs and long red carpets… This is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, of which 400 are considered rare or threatened. In 2010, several landscapes in southern China collectively known as Danxia were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Round Rocks, Argentina: A unique large round rock formation found in the Moon valley (also known as Ischigualasto), in a national park near the border with Chile. The round and smooth rocks are the result of continuous wear and tear by wind and water over millions of years. Ischigualasto Park was included as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.

Pamukkale, Turkey: Pamukkale in Turkish means 'cotton castle'. Pamukkale also known as 'Hierapolis', 'Holy City', is in Denizli Province, southwestern Turkey. Over the millennia, natural swimming pools have been rich in calcium carbonate and made up of snow-white limestone. As more and more tourists visit this place, the hotels built in the mid-20th century have really damaged the natural monument. In 1988, the hotels were demolished when UNESCO recognized this as a World Heritage Site.

Hoodoos, USA: The rock formations at Bryce Canyon National Park called 'Hoodoos' look like a man-made geological model but are actually columns of sedimentary rock mixed with irregular red, orange and white colors. . The region has a continental climate with warm and dry summers, with the lowest temperature in the winter months being minus 17 degrees Celsius.

'Fairy chimneys', Turkey: 'Fairy chimneys' are slim, mushroom-shaped stone pillars that rise out of the ground formed over millions of years in Anatolia, Turkey. The softer part of the column has been eroded by erosion, while the harder part remains intact creating "chimneys" up to 37m high.

Richat, Mauritania: The Richat is a geological structure formed after the dome was eroded, exposing the original flat rock layers below at the Sahara's Adrar plateau near Ouadane, Mauritania (Africa). The structure is 40km in diameter with concentric rings of sedimentary rock layers around the central igneous layers.

Mount Roraima, Venezuela: Mount Roraima is a mountain with 400m high cliffs on all four sides, which distinguishes the three countries of Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. It is located in the southern corner of Venezuela and is part of the Canaima National Park. The mountain ranges including Roraima are among the oldest known geological formations - two billion years. It is also home to some of the tallest waterfalls in the world, which was also the inspiration behind the name "Heavenly Falls" in the Pixar movie Up.

Pillars, Northern Ireland: The Pillars are an area of ​​about 40,000 irregular basalt columns that look like steps into the sea, 40 kilometers northeast of Derry on the edge of the Antrim Plateau, between Causeway Head and Benbane Head. The terraces were formed about 50-60 million years ago during the Paleogene when lava flows slowly moved towards the coast, cooled, and then came into contact with the sea. The basalt layers created the columns and the pressure between the columns resulted in these polygonal shapes. The steps are up to 25 m high and vary in diameter from 4.5 to 6 m. The stone pillar has been recognized as a World Heritage Site since 1986.

Wave-shaped rock, Australia: A wave-shaped rock that looks like a high sea wave, located near the small town of Hyden, Perth, Australia and Aboriginal people called the structure 'Kattar Kich'. The wave part of the rock is 15m high and 110m long. The wave is the northern part of the hill called Hyden Rock.

Fingal Cave, Scotland: Located on the uninhabited island of Staffa, Inner Hebrides, Scotland, Fingal Cave is known for its dome-supported natural sound system. Fingal is composed entirely of hexagonal basalt columns like the Northern Ireland Pillars. These basalt columns were formed by the cooling and pressure processes that occur when lava meets seawater. Fingal was rediscovered in 1772 and has attracted numerous tourists ever since.

Uluru, Australia: Uluru is a giant sandstone monolith located 334 km from the town of Alice Springs (south of Northern Australia). It is made up of arkosic sandstone, located in the middle of the desert and 860m above sea level. It was first discovered by explorer Ernest Giles in 1872. One of the unique features is that the color of the rock changes according to the color of the rock. position of the Sun. At sunset it is orange red. It has been a popular landmark since the 1930s and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Devil's Tower, USA: Devil's Tower, also known as "Graddy's Lodge" is a natural stone tower, remnants of volcanic erosion caused by erosion, located near the Belle Fourche River (northeast of Wyoming). The tower is made up of igneous rock and has a flat 1.5-acre top and grooved edges. Devil's Tower is 867m high from its base and flat top, 1,560m above sea level.
