I really love the desert.
one third of the world is arid and is dessert actually
A lot of people misconstrue desert to mean hot and sandy.
its actually just a  barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs
Yes, what do you suppose the largest contiguous desert on earth is? 
the sahara which spans an area measured at roughly 3.5 million square miles. 
Is the Sahara larger than Antarctica?
i dont know but i do know Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia.
