The biggest comprising half the size as Germany or Poland and as big as Florida or Wisconsin.It is also the least densely populated with less than 50.000 inhabitants.And it may become the richest in the future: beneath the soil the worlds largest copper deposit was found, exploration is to start soon.Needless to say it is a harsh and remote place but hosts some of Mongolia's main tourist attractions.So many people take the long way of 600 km along bumpy roads to visit this desert region.<img src="http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8774/23828205943389a43b6cb.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The dunes shown above in the first thread are the Khongoryn Els ("Singing Sand Dunes") <img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/7367873.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/628/23790967152641e1db23o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/2376868543_7fdae23324_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />(flickr)They measure 180 km in length and are 12 km wide in average. <img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/10145075.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/17086952.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/17086988.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Some dunes reach heights of over 100 meters.<img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/4370865.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/403145.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />But there are even bigger areas covered with vdunes in Mongolia which extend up to 300 km in length.<img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/4390438.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/4390444.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />These dunes are overshadowed by the Altai mountain range <img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/7367934-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/OrangeUtan/temp/20723005.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
