Caption: BULGAN IN THE GOBI DESERT, MONGOLIA - FEBRUARY 09: camel polo tournament. The Mongolian two-humped Bacterian camel is nicknamed the -Gobi Ship- by local people, and inhabits the Gobi Desert area in the southern part of Mongolia. As an inseparable part of the life of nomadic Mongolians, it has become a tradition in Mongolia to organize a Camel Festival annually.
The Thousand Camel Festival is celebrated right after the Mongolian Lunar New Year celebration each year from late January to late February. (Photo by Michel Setboum/
