The Antarctic Desert (Earth's other polar desert) covers Antarctica, the fifth largest of the seven continents.

The total surface area is about 5.5 million square miles in summer, approximately twice the size of Australia. In the winter, Antarctica doubles in size, due to sea ice that forms around the coasts.
