Gobi Desert

The Gobi Desert in Outer Mongolia is not a real "Desert" as we may imagine. It has mountain ranges, springs, glaciers, forests, sand dunes, steppes and rare animals including Gobi bears. You can also visit Bayan Zag- Saksaul Forest in the desert where a dinosaur skelton, its fossilised eggs and other prehistoric giant animals have been found.

The Gobi Desert is a half-million square miles of arid wilderness and high mountains -- five times the size of Wyoming -- that is a Mecca for paleontologists. This map shows the routes and localities visited by American Museum of Natural History and Mongolian Academy of Sciences researchers over the last six years.
