"Chulut, Sumyngol, Selenge, the great rivers of the Highlands, are barely distinguishable names on the map, marked by a faint blue line and highlighted only a few points to something that you can give the name of the street or track. Here even the guides often get lost and are forced to retrace his steps or deviations to then take the right direction, because these grasslands, which expand for hundreds of miles without a substantial alteration horizon with few reference points are can easily confuse anyone since, rather than a territory resembling a sea. However, the nomads know how to decode the maps marked invisible on the stones, trees, in the sky. They have an extraordinary memory and sometimes, as evidenced by Chatwin in The Songlines about the Native Australians, are their songs which are the tools for precise description of places, for a 'navigation view' in their movements.

"Steve is a man of the North the weather appears to be sliding on his powerful shoulders without a trace. His cane, as they slowly approached me with the car, I saw the curve up to the limit of rupture. [...] As soon as you notice me, I nodded and ran to help him and gone over the wharf, I wondered what kind of fish could be the one that committed in open barrel and fisherman. My curiosity was soon answered. Adjacent to a big screen from recovery, between the planks of fir, were two small sharks on twenty pounds. Meanwhile had appeared before us a nice head seal in the mouth with a small silver salmon, a sign that the new slope was near. After about twenty minutes, the fish rose and a couple of times we saw him: a five-foot shark announced by the unmistakable dorsal fin and tail, 'dolphin' in front of us. Then, as was shown sank again and took off. Our efforts to change him in vain: a snap dry between the narrow walls of the fjord and the return line which lashed the pier we were told that this time he had won. "
