The Gobi desert of Central Asia is one of the earth's most desolate places. Its million square kilometers of sand dunes, sculpted badlands and sod Tooth Mountains are alternately scorched by summer's high latitude Son and frozen by winter's Siberian winds. It's not a place to explore. Unprepared. Crossing vast, uninhabitable areas between a sprinkling of oasis requires planning akin to the siege tactics for scaling a Himalayan peak or traversing the antarctic continent. There are few maps and satellite navigation is of limited help to a traveller trying to choose among the deeply rutted wildly criss crossing roads that wander as unpredictably as the nomadic settlements they connect. Even a modern day expedition runs. The risk of shortages of water, fuel, and food. Getting lost is not merely frustrating, but a matter of serious danger.
