Gobi Desert

             Gobi Desert (戈壁, Гоби) is a large desert region in Asia. It covers parts of northern and northwestern China, and of southern Mongolia. The desert basins of the Gobi are bounded by the Altai Mountains and the grasslands and steppes of Mongolia on the north, by the Hexi Corridor and Tibetan Plateau to the southwest, and by the North China Plain to the southeast. It had a surface of 1,295,000 km2 (500,002 sq mi). 
             Gobi is a cold desert, with frost and occasionally snow occurring on its dunes. Besides being quite far north, it is also located on a plateau roughly 910–1,520 metres (2,990–4,990 ft) above sea level, which contributes to its low temperatures. Average winter minimums are a frigid −40 °C (−40 °F) while summertime temperatures are warm to hot, with highs that range up to 50 °C (122 °F).
