The question is incorrect. There are 'oases' of ice-free land in Antarctica - dry valleys where no rain has fallen for over 2 million years.

Player #20175440, that was the point of the question. Although it's basic geography, people still switch Antarctica and the Arctic and that's exactly why it's one of the options.

🧊 Antarctica 🧊 Antarctic ice sheet Polar ice cap in Antarctica Image result for antarctica ice covered The Antarctic ice sheet is one of the two polar ice caps of the Earth. It covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. It covers an area of almost 14 million square kilometres and contains 26.5 million cubic kilometres of ice. Balance (2012) estimate the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet to be -81 ± 37 gigatonnes per year8. An unweighted average of recent estimates suggests that Antarctica moved from a weakly negative mass balance in the 1990s to a faster rate of mass loss at a rate of between -45 and -120 gigatonnes per year7. Elevation 4,000 meters The Greenland and East Antarctic Ice Sheets are roughly 3,000 to 4,000 meters (10,000 to 13,000 feet) high at their summits. The West Antarctic and the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheets are about 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) high. Altitude 2000 m The maximum altitude of the ice surface is less than 2000 m above sea level. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is divided from the East Antarctic Ice Sheet by the large Transantarctic Mountains.

RocaKnowsIt, Less than 10" rain per year defines the entire continent of Antarctica as a desert. The same is true of the Arctic.

helpmelosemymind, It's no wonder. the Tropic of Capricorn (most vertical rays of the sun south of the equator) passes right through the middle of the continent.

this answer is incorrect, the entire landmass is not always covered in ice, atrributed to climate change.

Arctic cannot be the answer as it is not the continent, but Antarctica isn't exactly completely covered with ice.

Marco the phoenix, the continent is called Australasia. Oceania was a fictional continent in George Orwell's 1984 and is also the name of Australasia in the spanish language.

Australia shouldn’t even be in the options. It should have been Oceania in its stead
