Inconsistency in the stated length of the Gobi Desert
The article gives two different figures for the length of the Gobi Desert from southwest to northeast. The infobox states the length as 1,500 km, but the body text states: "The Gobi measures 1,600 km from southwest to northeast." The difference is 100 km — approximately 6.7% — and neither figure is attributed to a different source or a different measurement of the desert's extent. Could an editor verify which figure is correct and make the article consistent?
