What is the Gobi?
Quick Answer
The Gobi is a large cold desert in Mongolia and northern China known for rocky plains, cold winters, and sparse rainfall.
The Full Story
Unlike hot sand deserts, the Gobi is a cold desert with large seasonal temperature swings and wide expanses of gravel, rock, and steppe. It lies in the rain shadow of the Himalaya and other high ranges, which helps keep it dry. The Gobi has also been an important paleontological region, with many dinosaur fossils discovered there in the 20th century. Its landscape includes dunes in some areas, but much of it is rocky rather than sandy.
