Desert With Snowfall: As soon as we think about the desert, we start remembering the pictures of the Sahara desert or the Thar desert of Rajasthan in our country. The Sahara desert is in the continent of Africa, while the Thar desert is in our country only. This is a matter of hot desert with hot sand, but you hardly know that there is such a desert in the world, which is so small that it can be crossed in just a few steps.
The name of this smallest desert in the world is Carcross Desert and it falls in Yukon, Canada. Generally, on seeing the desert, only sand is visible from far and wide, but this desert is very small apart from all these. Neither there is any fatigue in walking here nor do you have to think before crossing it because its area is only one square mile.
This desert is a mystery
The name of this desert was derived from the name of a village Carcross. It is said that this village was full of people 4500 years ago. People live here even today, but this desert has become like a puzzle. It is present at a very high altitude and the temperature here remains much lower than other deserts. It is winter here and in the cold season there is a lot of snow and people reach here in good numbers for sightseeing. This place is considered perfect especially for adventure sports enthusiasts.
How did such a small desert become?
No one has been able to solve this puzzle that how such a small desert was formed? One opinion is told that there used to be a lake here, after drying it became a desert. On the other hand, some people believe that due to the sandy winds, the desert has been formed here. Even scientists have not been able to find out the exact reason for this and research is going on continuously. Now whatever may be the reason behind this, this place is very good for people to visit.
