Cold Sands glacier Kodar (12 photos)
40 km from the glaciers of Kodar among snow-capped mountains, dense taiga and vast marshes bright yellow spot is a tiny, but quite real desert. Chara Sands - a sandy area a length of 10 km and a width of 5.
Everything in this desert, but there is such a thing never see. Next to the warm yellow sand is thin crust of ice. Instead of camels in the desert caravan wanders deer. Around the sand - mountains covered with snow even in summer, and the dunes are broken in the swamp, in lakes.
Meso and micro-relief is very diverse. Dunes, barchan chain hilly sands deflation basins, sand ridges. All of the forms are complicated ripples cells
Move mini-desert difficult, the entire surface of her two three-kilometer cross ridges and chains of dunes. The most powerful - in the center of the array and resemble frozen waves. The hard climbs on a vershinku - before the eyes of loose sand dunes - a real eye boundless desert.
No intermediate zone here. Just walking along the swampy Mari, and take the next step - and a leg in the wilderness.
