The
Mongolian plateau features one of the largest steppe sceneries on our
earth. With its size of about 600000 square kilometers, it extends in
the west from the 88th degree of longitude to the 120th degree
longitude. Only for a few months of the year the grass and forest
landscapes show their green side. From October until May most of the
land is covered under a thin layer of ice and snow over which a down to
-40°C cold wind howls. |
