Antarctic Biome Location
It is the coldest, windiest, and driest biome on Earth. There is not a lot of life on the Antarctic land. All of the animals have adapted to the cold conditions.
Antarctica is considered to have its own biome since there is no precipitation in Antarctica, and is still very cold. It has high altitude temperatures like an ice biome, but is still colder than any other biome. There are also periods of no sun rise or sun set.
