Taklamakan Desert (Xinjiang, China), the snow-covered desert <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Taklamakan is one of the largest sand deserts in the world. In 2008, a heavy  11-day snow covered the desert and transformed it into a white world.   2. Lencois Maranhenses National Park (Brazil), the desert with salt lakes <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Every year from July to September, heavy rainfall creates thousands of ponds in  the desert. The white sand dunes mixed with blue lakes will leave you wondering  if you’re in a desert or by the sea3. Uyuni Desert (Bolivia), the world’s largest salt-lake desert <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> As the world’s largest salt lake, Uyuni has 65 billion tons of salt, with many  salt beds spanning more than 10 meters. The surface of the lake reflects the  sun’s light like a mirror, and the body of the lake is colorful because of the  mineral deposits at the bottom. But with an altitude of 3,700 meters and 10,000  square kilometers of uninhabited lake area, it can be difficult to reach it.4. Farfara Desert (Egypt), the white desert <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> In contrast to the yellow deserts in most other places, this desert 45  kilometers north of Farafara, Egypt, is a creamy white.5. Atacama Desert (Chile), the driest desert <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> According to the “Guinness Book of World Records”, the Atacama Desert is the  driest in the world. A 400-year drought recorded here lasted from the late 16th  century to 1971.7. Simpson Desert (Australia), the red desert <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Simpson Desert is famous for its red color, caused by ferric oxide rust covering  the sand and then turning to powder and mixing with the sand.8. Black Desert (Egypt), the black stone desert <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Located in an area formed by volcano eruptions that is just 100 kilometers  northeast of the Farafara white desert, the Black Desert is littered with small  black stones.9. Antarctica, the world’s driest but most humid desert <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The average rainfall in Antarctica is less than 5 millimeters, but at the same  time, 98 percent of the land is covered with ice and snow. The result of these  extreme weather conditions is dryness, humidity and cold temperatures that make  Antarctica uninhabitable for humans.10. Sahara, the largest desert in the world <img src="http://picturrs.com/files/funzug/imgs/informative/fascinating_deserts_13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> At over 9 million square kilometers, the Sahara covers most of North Africa and  is home to a number of peoples and languages. The desert stretches from the Red  Sea, including parts of the Mediterranean coasts, to the Atlantic Ocean. </blockquote>
