Faces of the Gobi

The Gobi Desert - which literally translates as "gravel-covered plain" in the Mongolian language - is Asia's largest, covering nearly all of southern Mongolia and a significant portion of northern China. Due to extreme weather conditions and vast distances, there are very few permanent roads that traverse the Gobi, making travel and trade very difficult.
