Pamukkale
Pamukkale, meaning 'cotton castle', is the name given to the site where a hot spring emerges in what was the exact middle of the ancient city of Hierapolis, south-western Turkey. When the water of this spring surges over the edge of the plateau and cools, carbon dioxid is given off and calcium carbonate precipitated as hard chalk.
You can hardly see the water on the pics but it's running down the hill.

The Jade Sea
The 'lodge':
Lake Turkana (former Lake Rudolph) is located in the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, where climate is extremely hot and dry and winds can be really strong.
With its far northern end crossing into Ethiopia, it is the largest permanent desert and alkaline lake in the world, where Nile crocodiles are found in great abundance on the flats.
All the surrounding area is predominantly volcanic and an active volcano still emits vapors on Central Island.
