What is the yearly average of rainfall in antarctica's tundra?

Answer 1

The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude and is located on the continent of Antarctica. Because it is a "polar" region, there is no precipitation, it has no lakes or rivers and is in fact the driest continent.

Answer 2

Antarctica does not have a tundra. Because Antarctica is a "polar" region, there is no precipitation, it has no lakes or rivers and is in fact the driest continent. The interior of Antarctica is considered the world's driest desert because the extreme cold freezes water vapour out of the air. Annual snowfall on the polar plateau is equivalent to less than 5 cm of rain.

Answer 3

You can find Antarctic tundra on some sub-Antarctic islands, and very little on the continent itself.

From Wikipedia:

"Precipitation varies greatly within the Antarctic Peninsula. From the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula south to 68 degrees South, precipitation averages 35-50 cm per year. A good portion of this precipitation falls as rain during the summer, on two-thirds of the days of the year, and with little seasonal variation in amounts. Between about 68°S and 63°S on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula and along its northeast coast, precipitation is 35 cm or less with occasional rain. Along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula south of 63°S, precipitation ranges from 10-15 cm."
