Superman actor Henry Cavill and World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson try to cross one of the driest deserts on earth, Taklamakan Desert in China.
Henry Cavill, star of the new Superman film ‘Man of Steel,’ and world superbike champion, Neil Hodgson, through the Taklamakan Desert, northwestern China. Summer temperatures are a staggering 50 degrees Celsius. The duo must cross 470 miles of the largest shifting sand desert in the world, from Hami to Urmqi, where drinking water is really as scarce as life. One mistake so you will be stranded, there is absolutely no rescue.
