Kazakh Steppe
The Kazakh Steppe is a vast, treeless plain located in central Asia, primarily within the borders of Kazakhstan. It spans over 1 million square kilometers and is characterized by its grasslands, rolling hills, and occasional salt flats. The region experiences a continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters, making it a unique ecosystem for various flora and fauna.
This steppe has been home to nomadic tribes for centuries, including the Kazakh people, who traditionally relied on livestock herding. The landscape is dotted with yurts, which are portable, circular dwellings used by these nomadic communities. The Kazakh Steppe plays a significant role in the cultural heritage and identity of the region.
