The driest place on earth is in Antarctica , the Dry Valley’s in Antarctica have not received a drop of rain for over 2 million years . It is also considered one of the largest and driest desert’s on earth , it is not always thought of immediately because it’s covered in snow and ice , but add that with constant wind and that equals dry and airide .
