Aerial view of the Kula-Salihli Geopark, known for its volcanic hills and lava-formed 'rock sea,' where scientists discovered eight magma chambers at different depths beneath the Earth's crust in Manisa's Kula district, home to Turkiye's youngest volcanoes on October 4, 2024. Scientists have identified the largest, near-surface magma chamber as posing a potential eruption risk due to factors such as earthquakes. Mentioned by ancient historian Strabo in his work 'Geographika' as 'Katakekaumene' (Burnt Land), the UNESCO-listed site is known for its historical heritage, natural beauty, and hot springs, serving as a natural laboratory for scientists.
