-- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. --

Correct! The Antarctic Polar Desert covers the continent of Antarctica and has a size of about 5.5 million square miles. The second-largest desert is the Arctic Polar Desert. The Sahara Desert comes in at number three.
When most people think of a desert, they imagine a landscape covered with sand and sand dunes. However a desert is defined by the amount of precipitation a region receives (or the lack thereof). The two largest deserts are the polar deserts underlying the ice strata.
A Scottish tradition from the Middle Ages, immigrants to the Southern United States made it a staple of American cuisine.This message has been edited. Last edited by: kkina,
