Which desert is famous for having one of the coldest climates of any desert in the world?

The Antarctic Desert

The Antarctic Desert, which covers almost the entire Antarctic continent, is the largest desert in the world and also holds the record for the coldest climate. With temperatures that can drop below -80°C (-112°F), it challenges the traditional notion of a desert with its extreme cold rather than heat. This icy region plays a crucial role in regulating the global climate and serves as a vital research ground for scientists studying everything from glaciology to climate change. The austere beauty of Antarctica and its extreme conditions also attract the most intrepid adventurers and explorers.
