Image AntarcticaDomeCSnow.jpg thumb 270px Polar desert Polar deserts are areas with annual Precipitation meteorology precipitation less than 250 millimeters and a mean temperature during the warmest month of less than 10 C. Polar desert s on Earth cover nearly 5 million square kilometers and are mostly hard bedrock or gravel plains. Sand dune s are not prominent features in these deserts, but snow dunes occur commonly in areas where precipitation is locally more abundant. Temperature changes in polar deserts frequently cross the freezing point of water. This freeze thaw alternation forms patterned textures on the ground, as much as 5 meters in diameter. Most of the interior of Antarctica is polar desert, despite the thick ice cover. Conversely, the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica , although they have been ice free for thousands of years, are not necessarily polar desert they are kept dry by katabatic wind . Polar deserts are relatively common during ice ages , as ice ages tend to be dry.
