Stein's explorations extended to which "desert"?
Sahara
Taklamakan
Mojave
Kalahari
Answer
The Taklamakan Desert, known as the "sea of death," is a vast expanse of arid land located in the heart of Central Asia. It encompasses an area of approximately 337,000 square kilometers and is the largest shifting sand desert in the world. The desert's harsh environment, characterized by extreme temperatures, shifting sand dunes, and lack of water, has made it a formidable natural barrier and a challenging region to explore.
