The ice-free areas of Antarctica where no rain has fallen and extremely dry winds cause snow to evaporate before reaching the ground are primarily found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. This region is one of the driest places on Earth, with some areas receiving less than 10 millimeters of precipitation annually. The unique topography and climatic conditions, including katabatic winds, contribute to the extreme aridity and result in minimal snow accumulation.

Why does salt evaporate faster than sugar?

Frankly, neither of these evaporate that one could detect. Sugar would decompose before reading its boiling point and salt would have to get pretty damned hot (I don't have the mp or bp handy) before it would melt then subsequently evaporate.
