Mongolia: Gers at the Oyu Tolgoy mine site, Mongolia.

This is where guests and some of the employees of the Oyu Tolgoi mine stay. The gers (or yurts) are very comfortable despite the bitter cold (-20 C or lower). Each ger is connected to a square building in between the gers. These square buildings contain private bathrooms. Most of the workers of the mine do not stay in these gers; they stay in barracks.
