Question 5: What is the driest place on Earth?​


A bit contentious due to the fact of the differentiation between the "driest" and the one with "least precipitation".
 
I would argue that the answer to question (5) is the, The Atacama Desert is commonly known as the driest place in the world, especially the surroundings of the abandoned Yungay mining town, where the University of Antofagasta Desert Research Station is located, in Antofagasta Region, Chile. While In Antartica The Dry Valleys are ice-free because strong, dry katabatic winds blow away snow that falls on the valley floor. The only ice in the valleys is in the form of alpine glaciers and permanent ice on the lakes. So it is not the driest place on Earth. The question the following. Question 5: What is the driest place on Earth? Obviously this is where I buggerered up with 9 X 10?

Good point. Ice and snow are frozen water. Water is wet. Ice and snow can be melted into water. Logically a dry place is a place totally without water. A desert.
