Cold deserts are typically found at high latitudes, usually between 30° and 50° north and south of the equator. These regions are characterized by their cold winters and relatively low precipitation levels. Examples of cold deserts include the Gobi Desert in Asia and the Patagonian Desert in South America.
The specific latitude of a cold desert can vary, but they are generally located in the interior of continents, far from the moderating influence of oceans. This geographical positioning contributes to their extreme temperature fluctuations and arid conditions.
