Yes Yes, It is not only windy, it is the windiest continent on Earth!
The highest wind speeds recorded in Antarctica were at Dumont d'Urville station in July 1972: 327km/h (199 mph), equal to the strongest wind gust recorded in the world at Mount Washington, New Hampshire (USA) on April 12, 1934, at 199mph (327km/h).
Because the South Pole is well inland and on a flat area of the plateau, and they originate there, the Katabatic wind at the pole is relatively calm. The highest recorded wind at the South Pole was only 48 knots (55 mph).

What Describe Antarctica?
High, dry, cold, dark, windy, icy -- in fact the -est of any continent on earth.
Why is Antarctica the coldest and windiest continent?
Antarctica is cold because it lacks sunlight during the winter months. Antarctica is windy based on Katabatic winds that flow downhill from the polar plateau -- about two miles high, and that are powered by the rotation of the earth.
Is it possible for snow to sublimate into water vapor?
Yes this happens all the time. It is most noticeable when it's windy, and this is the primary mechanism by which snow is lost in windy and extremely cold locations such as inland Greenland and Antarctica.
How deep does the snow get in Antarctica?
There is no snow in Antarctica: it's too dry and cold. Blowing ice crystals, however, can drift up to the top story of any building during windy periods.
Can windmills stay in Antarctica?
It may be too windy in Antarctica to install permanent wind devices. Existing anemometers are consistently being blown off their moorings because of extreme high wind.
