A tale of two deserts: The Sahara and the Gobi

Article Abstract:

A comparison has been made between the world's two great and forbidding deserts, the Sahara and the Gobi. Although both deserts are spreading relentlessly, the basic differences are that in parts of Gobi, there is no fresh water whereas Sahara is punctuated by ancient wells; and the Gobi is harsher, bleaker and more hostile than the Sahara.
