Cappadocia Cave is a valley area in central Turkey, where 10 - 12 meter limestone stacks have been formed in the landscape by erosion. In these limestone pillars, sheltering places were carved by shepherds for themselves and their animals.
As ICEHOTEL forms a shelter from the extreme cold and windchill, these caves shelter from the extreme heat and sandstorms.
The enormity of the limestone stacks is represented with massive ice pillars, some of which reach through the snow roof to let in the arctic light.
