• The crystal mountain

The crystal mountain stands on the very edge of the White Desert, and shortly the black iron and basalt pebbles subside to the sand-blown chalk formations which loom on either side of the road.
It's a necessary stop for adventurous safari tours in the white desert. A slight natural crook within the rock and thus the glittering calcite crystal walls make it an ideal place to pose for photographs. This is what geologists call an unearthed cavern, a cavern complete with stalagmites and stalactites that have been thrust above by earth movement and with time has lost its roof to erosion and has nearly survived away.

• The white desert

There are massive rock formations that form from wind erosions. the colors change occasionally from the sun, a gorgeous sight to fantasize.

The mountains and bottoms are scattered with small volcanic black stones lying on the orange and brown multicolored sands. it's doable for people to climb the gentle peaks with lovely perspectives across the desert area and take some vivid photos. The Black Desert is a‘ passing through’ point due to no complexes around as it's completely uninhabited The geography is of isolated plains with the dunes ( small mountains) being of diverse sizes and formations. Rather than being considered as mountains, they're more like volcanic cones rising out of the desert.
