Zuun Garyn Gobi
Zuun Garyn Gobi belongs to the Dzungarian desert country west of the Mongolian Altai. Gravel plains and sparse vegetation are characteristic of this cold, arid landscape. Saxaul, ephedra and low shrubs grow among the stones, providing cover for animals adapted to desert life. The Gobi is not simply a sea of dunes: much of its vast surface consists of exposed rock and gravel.
