- World's Largest Desert: Maudlandia Antarctic Desert
CLIMATE
The Antarctic Desert receives very little precipitation but is also extremely cold, making it a "cold desert" like the Gobi or Atacama. Powerful winds keep the region from building up ice sheets like the rest of the continent. Monthly temperatures average five degrees below zero centigrade, and there is no rainfall in the region.
