Landscapes with Ger Camps and horses, Mongolia

Mongolia is a landlocked unitary sovereign state in East Asia. Its area is roughly equivalent with the historical territory of Outer Mongolia, and that term is sometimes used to refer to the current state. It is sandwiched between China to the south and Russia to the north. Approximately 30 percent of the population is nomadic or semi-nomadic; horse culture is still integral. The majority of its population are Buddhists. Most of the country is hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter, with January averages dropping as low as -30 C
