The Taklamakan desert fills about two-thirds of the province of Xinjiang. Its area of 300,000 sq km is mostly covered with about 100m high dunes, some details even amount to 300m. The strong winds make these dunes move very quickly, they also lead to the formation of Yardang (hill carved). The dunes formed by dust and sand deposits of the last ice age, in the Taklamakan was almost entirely of a lake of glacial meltwater (glacial lakes) of the surrounding mountains covered. Studies of heavy metal spectra, depending on the catchment area of the rivers were able to show that the sands a fluvial origin (from the former river courses) have.
