DESCRIBING A LANDSCAPE:GOBI DESERT

The landscape that I have chosen is located in The Gobi desert(Asia). It's a Mediterranean landscape.
It's the second largest desert in the world.

The climate of The Gobi Desert is very extreme. During the year temperatures vary greatly.  In summer they can reach 45ºC and in winter  temperatures fall to -40ºC. It is the coldest desert in the world. Precipitation is heavy.  It occurs in spring and in summer as snow or ice.

There isn't many nature in this desert. We can only find some shrubs that have adapted to this difficult conditions. The surface is covered by a lot of rocks and sand. Gobi deserts is surrounded by mountains and meadows.

We can find very strange animals such as bactrian camels,takhis, Snow leopards, jerboas(only 11 species in The Gobi Desert),Asiatic ibex, asiatic wild ass, Gobi bear, gray wolf, gold Eagle, musk oxen, plate-tailed gecko, goitered gazelle,  and marbled polecat.

Bactrian camel                                                             Takhi
Snow leopard                                                           Jerboa







Asiatic Ibex                                                              Asiatic wild ass

Gobi bear                                                                  Gray wolf



Gold Eagle                                                       Musk oxen






 Plate-tailed Gecko                                            Goitered Gazelle




 Marbled Polecat













I have chosen this landscape because I think is quite curious and different to the main idea of desert that we have. Also, there are a lot of unusual animal species.
