Mongolia trip – Emily Martin October 2014

Snowfall at the hot springs, China

Snowfall at the hot springs, China

Nights were spent in Mongolian nomad’s huts called Gers. With little insulation and heated only by a stove, we quickly learnt to wrap up warm during the sub-zero nights. One morning at the hot springs, we woke up to a thick layer of snow and enjoyed a dip in the warm pools in the snow. Extraordinarily, the next day we drove to the semi-Gobi desert and rode camels in the arid sand dunes.
