The only continent that has no deserts is Antarctica. While most continents feature various types of deserts, including both hot and cold varieties, Antarctica is classified as a polar desert. It has extremely low precipitation, with its interior receiving less than 10 inches annually, classifying it as a desert despite the ice cover. The harsh climate and freezing temperatures contribute to the lack of vegetation and limit biodiversity. In contrast to the traditional image of deserts, Antarctica's landscape is starkly beautiful, characterized by vast ice sheets and glaciers, making it unique among the world's continents.
