A panorama image of
Central Asia featuring a view of the Kara Kum and
Kyzyl Kum deserts. In this image, the Caspian Sea is to the far
left; the Aral Sea is in the upper center; and the "lake" in between is
Lake Sarykamysh, sometimes dry. The Kara Kum is below the Aral
Sea, and the Kyzil Kum is to the right.. |
