The ice-free areas of Antarctica, particularly the McMurdo Dry Valleys, are characterized by extremely arid conditions where no rain has fallen for recorded history. The region's unique topography and persistent katabatic winds contribute to its dryness, causing snow blown into the area to evaporate before reaching the ground. This phenomenon results in a stark landscape with minimal moisture, making it one of the driest places on Earth.
