INTRODUCTION:
Antarctica is the 5th largest continents of the earth.
It is the southernmost, coldest. Windiest, highest,
most remote, and most recently discovered
continent. It surrounds the South Pole, the point
at the southern end of the earth’s axis.
In terms of sheer size, the Antarctic desert is the largest desert on earth,
measuring a total of 13.8 million square kilometers. Antarctica is the
coldest, windiest, and most isolated continent on earth, and is considered
a desert because its annual precipitation can be less than 51 mm in the
interior.
