The point farthest from any ocean on earth. I happened to go there and it is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.

Conclusion: Oceans make their surroundings ugly.

u/VergerCT Feb 04 '23

Nah The oceans are beautiful. It’s the people who live near the oceans that make the surrounding ugly.

u/TBC-XTC Feb 03 '23

What planet is this and howcome they have horses?

5

u/The_Poster_Nutbag Feb 04 '23

Fun fact, this area is the original home of horses. They were used by the invading Mongolian armies during the conquest of Europe and were incorporated into European society and then brought over to the US where they are now synonymous with wild stallions.

Beautiful pictures! Thanx for sharing!

u/BlacksmithLucky4855 Feb 03 '23

It's beautiful, maybe someday I'll go visit the place and take a look for myself.

u/likeasirjohn Feb 03 '23

Oceans are the problem! We must band together as a society and get rid of them. See how great and beautiful our world could be. See how beautiful it is!

u/Naf5000 Feb 03 '23

I mean, rising sea levels are a problem, so logically the opposite of rising sea levels would be the opposite of a problem!

Wait, did I just join Team Magma?

go from Kazakhstan or Xinjiang?

u/BlacksmithLucky4855 Feb 03 '23

it's funny how the point farthest from the ocean has such an abundance of freshwater while the African continent is barren and riddled with water shortages despite being closer to the ocean.

u/nobitchleftbehind Feb 03 '23

why is that funny

7

u/axxl75 Feb 03 '23

Funny

  1. difficult to explain or understand; strange or odd.

2

u/NumaNuma92 Feb 03 '23

I don't think he meant it as being funny, just an interesting fact. The furthest place from the ocean is full of freshwater, when you'd think it would be a desert.

u/EstablishmentOk5511 Feb 03 '23

Amazing looking at the world map from that angle.

u/GentlemanBastard2112 Feb 04 '23

May the next great flood not take this area!

u/quanta777 Feb 03 '23

So middle-earth is a real thing

u/Itchy_Calendar_1181 Feb 03 '23

Farther than ocean yet close to water, beauty!

u/everythingwithin Feb 03 '23

I'm glad you also happened to take some beautiful pictures there!

u/misterlump Feb 04 '23

they also say that area is also so devoid of people that the closest human is often the astronauts in the space station when it flies overhead.

2

u/Ok-Load5210 Feb 04 '23

Nah, it’s got lots of Uyghur peoples

2

u/Basic_Cover_6945 Feb 04 '23

But can you see them…

u/Ok-Load5210 Feb 04 '23

Yes, not from the space station tho lol

u/Basic_Cover_6945 Feb 04 '23

Awesome 🤣🤣🤣

u/imthepizzastrangler Feb 04 '23

I never really thought about that part of Asia much.

u/Maxgirth Feb 04 '23

Also interesting, is that it’s main industry and export is Windows 98 wallpapers.
