In summer the camels can' t stray far from waterholes. But now, with mouthfuls of snow lying everywhere they can travel widely in search of mates. Today less than 1, 000 of these desert specialists remain in the wild. The Gobi, hostile though it is, is their last stronghold. There' s no other desert quite like the Gobi, but why is this place a desert? There is one simple and massive cause the Himalayas. Clouds blowing from the south hit this gigantic barrier. As they' re forced upwards so they empty their moisture on the mountain slopes, leaving little for the land on the other side. From space, deserts are very conspicuous. |
