The Antarctic continent is the driest continent on earth with about five percent humidity. Ninety-eight percent of the continent is covered with frozen water.
The Southern Ocean that surrounds the continent is sea water that freezes in the winter. It connects with the ice sheet that covers the land and essentially doubles the size of the continent. Most of the sea ice melts in summer.
