Meanwhile, In Mongolia of the Day: Footage of a nomadic Mongolian family erecting a temporary home known as a “ger” or “yurt” in just over an hour set to Mongolian throat music.

You can learn more about the ger (pronounced “gair”), the Shagdarsuren family, and traditional Mongolian customs in Dan Grossman’s report for National Geographic.

(I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this on tumblr but I LOVE MONGOLIA SO MUCH OH MY GOD. I know more about Temujin (that’s Genghis Khan for you uneducated children) than you would ever believe.
