Ever hear of the Carcross Desert? Neither had I

Until I followed a tweet to the Weather Channel, I had never heard of the Carcross Desert, which was called in the article both Canada's desert and the world's smallest desert.

If you search for Carcross in Canada in the satellite images of a mapping site, like Google Maps or Bing Maps, the little desert shows up readily.

It's a unique and pretty place.  I think it rather unlikely I will ever visit it in person, so via the wonders of the Internet, now I know about it and also know what it looks like.
