    Definition: a spectacular variety of karst landscape, dominated by steep or vertical sided limestone towers (karst towers) or cones. The towers originate as residual cones and are then steepened by water table undercutting from surrounding alluviated plains.

    Tower karst, cone karst and cockpit karst are different but rather similar forms of this kind of landscape.
