Antarctica is a polar desert and is extremely cold, only getting above freezing on the coast.
Temperatures in the interior have been measured as low as −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K), which was measured at Vostok Research station in July of 1983. This remains the coldest temperature recorded anywhere on Earth.
Inland, there is very little precipitation, with average humidity of about five percent. There tends to be a strong, constant wind blowing from the South Pole, the polar plateau , called katabatic wind, which is wind as a result of the down-sloping of air from the high plateau elevation to sea level.
Antarctica is technically a desert.
Because Antarctica is a "polar" region, there is no precipitation, it has no lakes or rivers and is in fact the driest continent.
There is a thick ice cover. There are polar deserts and some dry areas that have been ice free for many thousands of years. There are lakes that never freeze due to the high salinity (salt content). There is an absence of sunlight for 9-10 months.The coldest temperatures are about -30 degrees Celsius. The warmest range around -1.

Ice cores are useful for scientists who want to learn about the climate in Antarctica thousands of years ago.
On the average, cold, with little precipitation.
