Antarctica is entirely desert, and as the Australian Antarctic Territory is the largest slice of Antarctica, Australia has the largest portion of the Antarctic Desert.

Is there natural gases in the sahra desert?
You asked a very good question. There is an impression that the deserts contain nothing but sand. It isn't true. Deep below the surface of the desert, there are many large natural gas and oil deposits in the Sahara desert. It is a very active area of exploration in the countries of Libya and Algeria. The Sahara was not always a desert. These necessary organic material was deposited over 100 million years ago, when the area was full of vegetation, and marine life. Natural gas deposits were not actively exploited due to the inaccessibility of the area and lack of facilities. Roads have been built and drilling companies have set up facilities in the desert. Remote areas may depend on generators for electricity. Also, there was no local market. The countries of Algeria and Libya could not consume all the gas that was expected to be produced. Gas is not easy to transport long distances like oil. However, today there are gas pipelines that go under the Mediterranean sea, so the gas produced from the Sahara desert can be used in the European countries. I have included several links so you can learn more about the Sahara desert. See links.
Are there any national parks or monuments in the Sahara desert?
Yes there actually are national parks in the Sahara desert. Since the desert covers all of Northern Africa, Some countries have created parks to get tourists to come. these parks are; Banc d'Arguin National Park in Mauritania, Djanet-National Park in Algeria, Sidi Touri National Park in Tunisia, Taghit National Park in Algeria and finally the Ain Khadra National Park in Egypt. The problem though these "parks" are not like the parks in North America, they are actually oasises located within the desert and these countries.
