[These are] natural geological features that look like penises. These undeniably phallic structures loom, numerous and tumescent-looking, above the valleys of Cappadocia, a region in central Turkey situated on a plateau over 1000 meters above sea-level.
The impressive spires took shape over the course of thousands upon thousands of years, as thick layers of volcanic ash known as tuff was eroded away by wind, water and snowmelt — geological processes that continue to wear away at them today.
Much like their anatomical counterparts, the resulting structures come in many shapes and sizes. Some are no taller than your average person, while others stand over 50 meters tall. Many are wide enough for inhabitants of Göreme, a nearby Cappodocian town, to make homes of them, carving out their centers through holes that later become doorways.
