The Antarctic Desert Facts for Kids
About The Antarctic Desert: It may not look like a desert, but Antarctica is technically the largest desert on Earth. Geographers define a desert by how little precipitation falls, not by temperature, and the interior of Antarctica receives so little snowfall that it easily qualifies — making this frozen continent the biggest desert of all. A Desert Made of Ice — Despite being buried under ice, Antarctica meets every scientific definition of a desert.
