This year's expedition will see 52 men and women, in 18 vehicles travel over 20,000 kilometers - traversing some of the harshest places on Earth. The team will also attempt to reach Keliya, the least populated place in China. To date, only four attempts have been made to reach Keliya, with only one successful group, arriving with only 4 vehicles intact.
