The Sahara Desert is a hot, sandy desert. Antarctica is a continent with a large desert covering much of it's surface. It is of course cold and much of it consists of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, although the dry valleys in the trans-antarctic mountains are not ice covered, and have sand dunes like more temperate deserts.
