On every corner of the world wide web the planet\u2019s most striking forests, mountains, tourist attractions, and lakes, are showcased. However, the desert is neglected to a great extent.<\/p>\n

A barren, arid land with little vegetation is known as a desert. In comparison to most other biomes, deserts are essentially uninhabited because of the unfriendly environment. One-third of the planet\u2019s land area is covered by deserts. When we think of deserts what usually comes to mind is a sweltering and sandy barren land. But some of Earth\u2019s deserts extend to the planet\u2019s freezing zones.<\/p>\n

Compared to the past, deserts are not so unwelcoming today. The modern means of transportation has made it easy to visit these unbelievable places on the earth. \u00a0Here is a peak into some of the world\u2019s most incredible deserts.<\/p>\n

Namib Desert- Southern Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Namib is the world\u2019s oldest desert, and was formed 43 million years ago. It is home to a wide variety of animals, which you will find nowhere else. The Namib Desert extends into Angola and South Africa.<\/p>\n

\"Namib<\/a>Black Rock Desert – Nevada<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Rock Desert, where you will find alkali flats and lava beds, is most famous for an annual weeklong event – Burning Man, which sees the construction of Black Rock City. During the festival Burners reside here and all traces of it are removed after they leave.<\/p>\n

Atacama Desert<\/strong><\/p>\n

The driest non-polar desert in the world is the Atacama. A plateau that measures 600 miles in length, it is spread over Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Argentina.<\/p>\n

Sahara Desert<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sahara is the third-largest desert in the world and covers a large part of Northern Africa. The Sahara has been shaped by sporadic rainfalls and winds into a landscape of valleys, dunes, sand seas and flats. Water from the desert\u2019s underground aquifers nourishes the oasis infringe on the dry area.<\/p>\n

Gobi Desert<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gobi spans parts of China and Mongolia. The Mongolian death worm is alleged to exist in this desert. Locals claim that it can kill its victim by discharging acid, and is two to five feet in length.<\/p>\n

Negev Desert<\/strong><\/p>\n

The desert constitutes over 55% of Israel\u2019s land area. This region has been settled by the Byzantine Empire, the nomads, Romans, and many others throughout the ages.<\/p>\n

Mojave Desert<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mojave is the lowest point in North America and contains Death Valley. It sits at an elevation of 282 feet below sea level. The boundaries of the region are marked by Joshua trees. The Mojave\u2019s largest city is Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

Antarctic Desert<\/strong><\/p>\n

The least hospitable desert is Antarctica mainly because of its annual rain of around eight inches. There are no permanent residents in this continent.<\/p>\n

Sonoran Desert<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sonoran Desert sprawls across California, Arizona, and Mexico. The natives to this rocky desert are the organ pipe cactus and the saguaro cactus, which have federal preserves named after them.<\/p>\n

Thar Desert<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Thar Desert forms a geomorphic border between India and Pakistan and covers 77,000 square miles. There are 25 species of snakes and 23 species of lizards in this desert.<\/p>\n

Rub\u02bf al Khali<\/strong><\/p>\n

The centrepiece of the Arabian Desert, the Rub\u02bf al Khali, is also known as the Empty Quarter. It\u2019s the largest sand desert on the planet. Due to the feldspar within the sand it has orange-red sand dunes.<\/p>\n
