The Gobi Desert

The Gobi is a vast desert that covers most of southern Mongolia and much of northern China. It is terribly cold in the winter and terribly hot in the winter. It is home to plenty of camels!

The Gobi is cold and icy this time of year. If you can brave the cold, you can walk through a canyon like this one to view some beautiful ice cascading down the cliffs.
The snow brushes the rugged landscape.
On the road! The Gobi is huge and mostly empty. We spent a lot of time driving from site to site.
You may think deserts are full of sand, but the Gobi actually only has sand in a few places. Here we are in front of the majestic, sweeping sand dunes. They are really fun to climb!

Every night we stayed in gers with local families. Here's the inside of one of the gers.
Footsteps on the sand dune... I love how there's snow and sand all at the same time! Have you ever seen that before?
Typical Gobi desert: yellowish orange land and a seemingly endless dirt road.
