I was drawn to Mongolia by the rugged and friendly people. But I found
so much more. Mongolia is sparsely populated and, in parts of the East, you can
drive on tracks for days without seeing a tree. You can also experience the deafening sound of silence and hear sounds so crisp they crack the air and disappear immediately.

About half of Mongolia's three million people are nomadic herders. It is a
harsh life. Weather is merciless. Temperatures slide from sub zero winters to scorching summers. Out in the countryside there is no escape. There are no heaters or coolers and, no matter what, everyone must work, every day.
