How much snowfall does Antarctica get every year?
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.
Are there any navigable waterways in antarctica?
No. 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.
Why is Australia one of the driest continents?
Australia has a compact shape and no significant bodies of water penetrate very far inland. This is important because it means that moist winds are prevented from penetrating to inland Australia, keeping rainfall low and dryness up.
What is the interior of Antarctica?
Some call the interior of Antarctica the Polar Plateau. It is also the driest area of the continent -- humidity less than five percent, and is thus a desert.

Antarctica is one continent.
