What is Pamukkall?

While doing my project I ran across this top-tourist attraction in Turkey called Pamukkall. Pamukkall is an unusual natural and historical site. The name translate to cotton castle. The white castles are formed by limestone-laden thermal springs which creates the formation of stalactites, potholes, and cataracts. The waters in the terraces are sediments of the springs with calcium bicarbonate . This water is famous for its benefits to the eyes and skin; and its curing properties to asthma. Hierapolis is situated on the back of the white terraces. Pamukkall looks like  heaven to me and it is now on my bucket list(:

    I've always been amused at attractions like this, where else can you soak in a hotspring surrounded by snow?!
