Describes the geology & history of the Gobi Desert in Central Asia. The Gobi lies in the immense rain shadow of the Himalayas. It offers a wide variety of habitats, including large expanses of bare rock rather than sand. It is a cold desert and snow falls from time to time. This has led to the evolution of a unique ecology.
