Itinerary description
Yolyn Am (Vall dels Voltors) és un congost profund i estret a les muntanyes Gurvan Saikhan del sud de Mongòlia. La vall es troba dins del parc nacional de Gobi Gurvansaikhan.
Yolyn Am destaca per un camp de gel profund. Al final de l’hivern el camp de gel arriba a diversos metres de gruix i té diversos quilòmetres. Durant els últims anys va romandre durant tot l'any, però el camp de gel modern tendeix a desaparèixer cap al setembre. Nosaltres a començament d’agost ja no hi hem trobat gent de gel.
És una caminada curta, d’uns 5 Km, per un terreny relativament pla i cal creuar uns quants cops el rierol.
Yolyn Am (Valley of the Vultures) is a deep and narrow gorge in the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains of southern Mongolia. The valley is located within Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park.
Yolyn Am is notable for a deep ice field. The ice field reaches several meters thick by the end of winter and is several kilometers long. In past years it remained year-round, but the modern ice field tends to disappear by September. We, at the beginning of August, have not found any ice.
It is a short walk, about 5 km, on a relatively flat ground and it is necessary to cross the stream a few times.
