Unreferenced date December 2009 Desert exploration is the deliberate and scientific exploration of desert s, the arid regions of the earth . It is only incidentally concerned with the culture and livelihood of native desert dwellers . The nature of desert s ensures that the story of their exploration is filled with tragedy. Many expedition members met their deaths due to the harsh conditions. Unlike earlier naval exploration and later space exploration, there was little hope of financial reward, and desert expeditions were generally undertaken for scientific purposes, in search of earlier explorers who had vanished, or for the challenge alone. The following sections list deserts around the world, and their explorers. Expeditions are listed by their leaders details of other expedition members may be found via the links.
