Solution

Dear Student,

Antarctic desert is the largest desert in the world by area with a size of around 5.5 million square miles, covering the continent of Antarctica. The Antarctic desert is classified as a Polar Desert. It is considered as a desert because the rains here are on an average of only 10 mm every year.

Regards.
