Though it’s unusual, but sand and snow, there are familiar.
40 km from the glaciers of Kodar among snow-capped mountains, dense taiga and extensive bogs bright yellow spot located miniature, but it is a real desert.
Carskie Sands is a sandy array of length 10 and width 5 km.
It’s like in the real desert, but there are things you will not see anywhere else. Next to warm yellow sand lies a thin crust of ice. Instead of camels walks in the desert caravan of reindeer. Around the Sands – mountains covered with snow even in summer, and the dunes are cut off in the swamp to the lake.
Mesorelief and micro-relief is very diverse. Dunes, dune chains, hilly Sands, basin blowing sand ridges. All of these complicated weather cells
Move on mini-desert is hard, the entire surface it is crossed two or three ridges and chains of dunes. The most powerful — in the center of the array and resemble frozen waves. Hard climb on a tip — in front of dunes of loose sand is present to the eye a boundless desert.
No intermediate zone here. Just walked through a marshy Marie, and make the next step and the foot is in the desert.
