An avalanche occurred near a ski slope at Palandöken Ski Center on Palandöken Mountain, one of the country’s most popular ski resorts, in Erzurum, Türkiye.
The mass of snow, which slid under a cable car in the area, did not cause any injuries, as there were not many people on the slope.
Inverted tulips, also known as “Crying Bride” flowers, are in bloom in the mountainous areas of Sason district in Batman, Türkiye. Found at altitudes over 2,800 meters, especially around Mount Mereto and Şilek Plateau, these rare endemic flowers attract nature enthusiasts despite the tough terrain.
Locals warn that picking the protected plant carries a fine of 244,000 TL. The flowers bloom for only 15 days each year, offering a short-lived but stunning natural display.
