no man's land

"The Gobi Desert provides us a glimpse of the majesty that can be found in such a vast emptiness..." or something.
Actually it seems to be a phrase frequently applied to the Gobi, for example:
Mongolia travel guide - WikitravelThe real majesty of this country lies in its vast emptiness, bringing the ... Gobi-Altai -- the re-introduction of wild Takhi horses is going on here ...

Good luck!
