Antarctica and The Arctic Ocean

Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest continent. There is little precipitation, except at the coasts, so the interior of the continent is technically the largest desert in the world.
There are no permanent human residents and Antarctica never had an indigenous population. Only cold-adapted plants and animals survive there, including penguins, fur seals, mosses, lichens, and algae
