The Thar Desert, also called the Great Indian Desert, covers more than
77,000 square miles (200,000 square kilometres) and forms a natural
border between India and Pakistan. It is a large arid region, with a
landscape dominated by sand dunes varying in size from 52 feet (16
meters) in the North to 498 feet (152m) in the south. The age of the
Thar desert is a topic of great controversy, though most geologists
agree that it is somewhere in the region of 4000-10,000 years old.
