At higher elevations, the climate becomes extreme, with sharp temperature swings between day and night. The air grows thin and dry, and fierce winds scour the exposed rock faces. Winters are harsh, with occasional snowfall accumulating at the highest peaks, though it rarely lasts year-round due to the arid conditions. Life at these heights is scarce, limited to resilient alpine flora. | At higher elevations, the climate becomes extreme, with sharp temperature swings between day and night.
