The McMurdo Dry Valleys are a row of snow-free valleys in Antarctica located within
Victoria Land west of McMurdo Sound. The region is one of the world's most extreme deserts, and includes many interesting features including Lake Vida and the Onyx River, Antarctica's longest river.
South America is the continent that has the driest place on Earth (Atacama Desert in Chile) and the largest tropical rainforest (Amazon Rainforest).
No, Death Valley is far from the driest area on earth. That distinction goes to Antarctica and the Atacama Desert.
The word driest is used to show the extent of something eg. the UK has had its driest summer this year or the Sahara dessert is the most driest desert known to man
Antarctica is the driest continent because it receives very little precipitation in the form of rain or snow. This is due to its polar desert climate, where cold air holds very little moisture and most of the precipitation that falls is in the form of snow.
Antarctica is considered the world's flattest and driest continent. With an average elevation of around 7,545 feet, it has the highest average altitude among the continents. Antarctica is also the driest continent, receiving very little precipitation in the form of snow.

Antarctica is considered the driest inhabited continent on Earth because of its extremely low precipitation levels. Most of the continent receives only minimal amounts of snowfall each year, making it the driest place on Earth.
Yes. Although the world's driest continent is Antarctica, Australia is the driest permanently inhabited continent.
It isn't. Australia is considered the driest inhabited continent with antarctica as the driest overall.
No. Technically, that would be Antarctica. Australia is the driest inhabited continent.
No, that'd be Australia.
Not quite. Australia is the driest inhabited continent, but the driest continent is actually Antarctica.
South America is the continent that has the driest place on Earth (Atacama Desert in Chile) and the largest tropical rainforest (Amazon Rainforest).
Only Antarctica is the drier continent than Australia. But Australia is the driest inhabited place.
The driest place on Earth is Dry Valleys, Antarctica, the second driest place is Arica, Chile
The driest inhabited area in the world is likely the Atacama Desert in Chile. It is known for its extremely low levels of precipitation, with some areas reportedly having never received rainfall.
The world's second coldest inhabited place is Oymyakon, located in the Sakha Republic, Russia. It holds the record for the lowest temperature ever recorded in a permanently inhabited settlement (-67.7°C in 1933).
