	Gobi - LoveToKnow 1911
		The desert of Gobi as a whole is only very imperfectly known, information being confined to the observations which individual travellers have made from their respective itineraries across the desert.
		To the south of the Kuruk-tagh lie the desert of Lop, the desert of Kum-tagh, and the valley of the Bulunzir-gol.
		During the prevalence of the spring storms the atmosphere that overhangs the immediate surface of the desert is so heavily charged with dust as to be a veritable pall of desolation.

	Wikipedia: Gobi Desert
		These deserts and the surrounding regions sustain many animals, including fl-tailed gazelles, marbled polecats, and greater plovers, and are occasionally visited by snow leopards, brown bears, and wolvess.
		Geographically the Gobi (a Mongol word meaning desert) is the deeper part of the gigantic depression which fills the interior of the lower terrace of the vast Mongolian plateau, and measures over 1000 m.
		The country to the north of the desert ranges is thus summarily described by Sven Hedin: "The first zone of drift-sand is succeeded by a region which exhibits proofs of windmodelling on an extraordinarily energetic and well developed scale, the results corresponding to the jardangs and the wind-eroded gullies of the desert of Lop.

	Takla Makan - LoveToKnow 1911
		The curving courses of the Tarim and the Koncheh-darya are the only check upon the invasion of the Takla Makan by the sand which is generated in the desert of Lop or further E. and N. in the mountains which girdle the desert of Gobi.

	Lop Desert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Desert of Lop or Lop Nur or Lop Nor, is a desert which extends from Korla eastwards along the foot of the Kuruktagh to the formerly terminal basin of the Tarim, in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.
		Perhaps the most striking characteristic, after the yardangs or clay terraces, is the fact that the whole of this region is not only swept bare of sand by the terrific sand storms (burãns) of the spring months, but, the particles of sand with which the wind is laden act like a sand-blast.
		The actual substantive materials of the desert itself are abraded, filed, eroded and carried bodily away into the network of lakes in which the Tarim loses itself.

		Slight doubts about its authenticity as a 1500 year old building are instilled when one watches the present extensive rebuilding of the gate in the time-honored technique of mud and straw walls.

		Lop Nor, also called the “the heart of the heart” of Asia, was the place where the waters of the largest inner basin (i.e., not flowing into the sea) of the world—including the Tarim and Kum-daria Rivers—were collected.
		Depending on the balance between rainfall water yield and evaporation, both position and size of the lake were strongly variable, thus giving rise to the legend of the Wandering Lake.

		But the next thousand kilometres would be desert, the route in some places free of towns for 200-kilometre-or-greater stretches, according to each of our three maps of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.
		The original route of the Silk Road -- across the Lop Nor Desert and skirting the southern edge of the Taklimikan Desert -- was abandoned in favour of a northern route due to the peril involved in crossing the Lop Nor.
		In his 13th-century account of crossing the southern route, Marco Polo describes the passage of caravans through the Lop Nor Desert.
