Desert Surrounded by Icey Mountains

It is well-known that Transbaikal or Zabaykalsky Krai is a region with snow-capped mountains and huge ice fields to the east of Lake Baikal in Russia. 

But not many people are aware of the fact that a true desert can be found in the place. Chara Sands are located in Kalarsky District of Zabaykalsky Krai, the sand band is 10 km long and 5 km wide. 

The sands are surrounded by boreal forests and marshes.
