From the ice roads of Siberia, we now move to the sand dunes of the Taklamakan Desert in China. Also known as the Desert of Death, locals there call it Takla Makan because it means “go in and you will never come out” or “the point of no return”. Kinda like marriange, no? The desert is the world’s second largest shifting sand desert with about 85% made up of shifting sand dunes …. meaning the landscape you see today will be entirely different in a couple of weeks time. Yup, pretty much describes how women are.

.

Anyways, on 20th March 2013, Discovery Channel will be screening the second episode of the Driven to Extremes series where this time, we’ll see The Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill and World Superbike champion gets better acquainted with the temperamental nature of the desert in their attempt to cross the desert; putting themselves, and their vehicle, to the test. And here’s the trailer to the second episode:-
