Mongolia Mountain Exploration

Mongolia be divided into free major topographic zones; the fingerlike mountain rages that thrust into the northern and western areas, the basin areas that lie between and around them, and the enormous upland plateau belt that sweeps across the southern and eastern sectors. The entire country is prone to seismic movements, with some earthquakes reaching extreme limits of severity; the low population density, however, diminishes their effects.

The present relief of Mongolia is the result of recent geologically upheavals of the Alpine mountain building period. There are three major mountain belts. The highest and the longest spine is the westernmost, the Altai Mountains, which sweeps in from the northwestern tip the country and thrusts toward the southeast for 1000 miles.

The Hangayn (Khangai) mountains are also positioned northwest to southeast, and form a solid mountain mass near the center of the republic, with peaks towering to more than 12000 feet. The third mountain block, the smaller and lower Hentiyn (Khentei) range, runs southwest to northeast of Ulaanbaatar, and reaches a maximum height of about 9200 feet, but in general its elevation is between 6000 and 8000 feet.

The Mongolian Gobi, a vast zone of desert and semi-desert occupying almost 30% of our country's vast territory, is a well-renowned place. The Gobi is often imagined to be place of unbearable heat and lifeless sand dunes, similar to the inhospitable and uninhabitable Sahara desert. Whereas the reality is quite the reverse. (The western part is located inside China, now) has high mountains, springs, forests, sands, steppe lands and rich animal kingdom, and has been inhabited since ancient times.
