The Antarctic Desert is a polar or ice desert.
The Antarctic Desert is also known as a frozen desert.
The Antarctic Desert is an ice desert.
yes it is called a frozen desert because it has little rain fall just like a desert and very small amount of plant life similar to a desert
Trees usually cannot survive in the cold tundra as the ground is frozen solid a few inches below the surface and stays frozen even in summer. Roots cannot penetrate this frozen soil. In the desert, however, trees do not have that problem and area able to send their roots deep into the soil to find water.
This could only occur in arctic "deserts" such as Antarctica,where desert is defined by the comparatively low precipitation, not by the lack of water. Deserts outside the arctic region (tundra) cannot have permafrost, which is permanently frozen ground.
A desert is a region where the area experiences little or no rain for a long time. It is just like the Sahara desert but instead of sand, it is ice. Instead of 40 degrees Celsius, think of negative 20 degrees Celsius. One (of the best) example would be Antartica. Also at night a desert gets very cold. SO MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A SWEATER.
The South Pole, which is located in Antarctica, is a desert. The North Pole is not located on a continent but on sea ice so cannot be considered as a desert. Continental lands that do surround the Arctic would be considered as tundra.
The frozen desert is called Antarctica.
Antarctica is mostly a frozen desert, the largest desert in the world.
The tundra is sometimes referred to as a frozen desert.
Antarctica is by encyclopedia definition a polar desert.

No,because the layer of the soil beneath the surface soil is frozen all the time this layer is called permafrost . The tundra and desert are two distinct biomes. While they share some characteristics, they are not the same. The only true 'frozen desert' is Antarctica.
There is an Antarctic Desert but no Arctic Desert. The Arctic is mostly open sea, frozen sea ice and tundra.

Desert implies a lack of humidity. Antarctica experiences less than five percent humidity, which makes it a desert.
Sahara desert.. they called it sahara dessert
In Hawaii, it is called a white devils frozen desert.
