When most people hear the word "desert," they imagine dunes, scorching winds, and unbearable heat. Images of the Sahara or the Arabian Desert often come to mind. Travel advice usually includes sunscreen, sunglasses, and plenty of water. Heatwaves and deserts almost seem like the same thing.
But there is one desert that completely changes this idea. It has no dunes, no burning sun, and no risk of a heatwave. Instead, it is covered in ice and snow year-round. This is Antarctica, the largest desert on Earth.
