There's a place in the Atacama Desert in Chile where it hasn't rained for 400 years.
But the Dry Valleys Region of Antarctica is drier.
The average annual rainfall in Antarctica is less than 2 inches, about the same as the Sahara, but the Dry Valleys Region on the coast has not had any rain for 2 million years.

So points to Lyn.
Antarctica is also the coldest place, the wettest place with 70% of the worlds water and the windiest place with wind speeds up to 200 mph.

I was going to ask you what the right answer was.
So how come its the driest place? I've forgotten the reason behind it being N or S Pole regions
