The Japanese archipelago consists of 6,852 islands but some of them (because of close geographical position and small dimension) are united so that you usually may come across the couple of islands that defined as a whole one. Due to this fact, the most suitable approximate number for this case is 3000, as most of the previous number contains small and inhabited islands. The climate of Gobi Desert is famous for its rapid and incredible changes of temperature during seasons. These changes are caused by wind blowing from the Siberian Steppes that makes this cold desert totally extreme. The temperature on Gobi ranges from −40 °C or −40 °F in winter to 45 °C or 113 °F in summer. The most unbelievable thing is that this temperature can vary within twenty four hours instead of seasonal periods. So the is 'Extremely cold winters and blistering hot summers'.

Honshu is the the largest island where the capital city is situated.
