	KARAKUM
		Die Karakum nimmt etwa 90% der Fläche Turkmenistans ein und hat eine Größe von 300.000 km².
		Aus klimatischen Gründen findet sich in der Karakum allenfalls Steppenvegetation mit verschiedenen Grasarten, denn die hohen Sommertemperaturen und die kalten Winter erlauben auch bei den Frühjahrsregen keine dauernde höhere Vegetation.
		In der Karakum finden sich bedeutende Erdöl- und Erdgasvorkommen.

	STANTOURS - Turkmenistan - Karakum Off-Road
		The Karakum desert blankets 80 percent of the territory of Turkmenistan.
		This former riverbed of the Amudarya River divides the different tectonic plates of the northern and southern Karakum and resembles an endless salt-lake collecting a bit of runoff in spring.
		With its harsh climate, fine sand and spirited history of the fiercest slave-hunters in Turkestan, the Turkoman warriors, the Karakum ('Black' Desert in the sense of 'Bad' desert!) is considered the most unforgiving desert in Central Asia.

	Tandem To Turkestan
		Incongruous in the vast bowl of the Karakum Desert, shadowed by the dusty Kopet Dag mountains, Turkmenistan's capital, Ashgabat, is perhaps the most peculiar city I have visited on my travels.
		Passing a kilometre of extravagant fountains, one would hardly believe we have reached the fringes of the Karakum, one of the hottest, bleakest deserts on Earth.
		The tandem is a great icebreaker and formalities pass smoothly, our bags subjected to the most cursory of inspections in exchange for a test ride around the compound.

	Turkmenistan in 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Most of Turkmenistan is covered by the Karakum desert, a sun scorched, barren land bordered by the Amu Darya River and Uzbekistan in the north and fringed in the south by a few oases fed by the runoff from mountains that mark the borders with Iran and Afghanistan.
		It was part of lands occupied by indo-European Scythian nomads who overran the Cimerians in today's Ukraine in the 8th century BC and who were known as Saka in Fergana and as Yue-Tsi in today's Xinjiang and Gansu in the 2nd century BC.
		Those who survived were put to work building the 1100 km long Karakum canal and using the Amu-Darya's water to grow cotton on the southern edge of the Karakum desert.

	Turkmenistan by "Lonely Planet"
		Turkmenistan's arid climate was hardly conducive to bumper harvests, and to supply the vast quantities of water required the authorities began work in the 1950s on a massive irrigation ditch: the Karakum canal.
		To the south, the Karakum is fringed by the Kopet Dag (Lots of Mountains), an earthquake prone range that forms a formidable 1500 km natural border with Iran and, farther east, Afghanistan.
		The most densely populated areas are the valleys of the Amu-Darya and Murgab, and the necklace of oases that form the Akhal chain, strung between Kyzyl-Arvat and Mary.

		Most birds appeared to be staying locally offshore rather than migrating and it occurred to me that perhaps they were also elsewhere off the north coast.
