Seven Hungarian researchers arrived in Altai on Thursday after crossing the Gobi Desert on horseback. The Szilasfood-Lucullus Gobi Expedition began the 1,000 kilometer trek one month ago from the Mongolian city of Dalanzagdad (population 17,000). Upon reaching Altai, the researchers celebrated the completion of their journey by cooking a Hungarian meal of chicken stew with paprika for town officials. Asia’s largest desert, the Gobi, straddles the Chinese and Mongolian border. The Hungarians performed a variety of medical, telecommunications and anthropological research during their trek. The final stop on their trip will be Ulaanbaatar, where they will present gifts from the Hungarian National Museum to the National Museum of Mongolian History.
