The answer is the Atacama Desert. The desert covers an area of 40,541 square miles.
Some deserts are hot, some are cold, depending upon the geographic location. Some cold deserts can be quite hot during the summer but are bitterly cold during the winter (Gobi Desert, Great Basin Desert). Some deserts are cold all year long (Antarctic Desert). Some are quite cool all year long because they are locate on the coast near cold ocean currents (Atacama and Namb Deserts). Some deserts are hot in the summer but have mild winters (Sahara and Mojave Deserts). Geography determines the climate of a desert.
The cold desert is in the Arctic Area, near the North Pole. Technically, the area is tundra and not desert.
Cold currents near coastlines often indicate the presence of upwelling. This is because upwelling brings cold, nutrient-rich waters from the ocean depths to the surface, leading to colder surface currents. Some examples of cold currents near coastlines that are associated with upwelling include the California Current, the Benguela Current, and the Canary Current.
The Rangipo desert is very cold as it lies near the mountains where they are very chilly.The Rangipo desert is located in new zealand

As the equator is warm, the currents that originate from there are also warm.

Places that are located near the warm water currents will have a warmer climate than places that are near the cold water currents. if this is for FLVS it is 100% positive it is right
Currents that originate near the equator are going to be warm water currents, and currents that form near the poles will be cold water currents. It is the temperature of the waters in these currents that influence the climates of the land masses by or around which they flow.
The Peru Current, also called Humboldt Current, cold-water current of the southeast Pacific Ocean passes along the west coast of South America and is partially responsible for the Atacama Desert.
