How many months of the year is the Arctic covered in snow?
Some parts are covered for 3 or 4 months while others are covered for most of the year. If the highest latitudes were land rather than ocean, these would be covered all year. However, if the snow never melted, glaciers/ice sheets would form as you see in Greenland and higher elevations in the Arctic. However, in many places where snow melts, the ground is still frozen throughout the year - this is called permafrost.

The peak of a mountain near the equator is covered with snow throughout the year?
The high elevation of the mountain allows it to maintain cold temperatures despite its location near the equator. This results in snow accumulation that persists year-round at the peak.
How is an ice climate considered a desert region?
A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation on average per year. Antarctica, even though it is covered largely by ice, meets that criterion. Antarctica received very little snow each year.
What mountains are covered in snow every year round?
Mountains that are covered in snow year-round are typically found in polar and high-altitude regions. Notable examples include the Himalayas, particularly peaks like Mount Everest, and the Andes in South America. The Arctic and Antarctic regions, such as the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of Greenland, also feature permanent snow and ice. Additionally, mountains like the Rockies and the Alps have glaciers that persist throughout the year, contributing to their year-round snow coverage.
