COLD OF THE NIGHT

This image again shows a scenic beauty, but this time it is the opposite of a hot, sandy desert. It is a cold, icy habitat. While many people use the term desert for a hot place, thinking of a place with dunes and pyramids, it can also be used for a colder place.

By definition, a desert is a dry, arid area with sparse vegetation. There are several cold deserts around the world, such as the Katpana Desert in Skardu, Pakistan. Another famous cold desert is the Gobi Desert, the sixth largest desert in the world, which stretches across China and Mongolia.
