One area in Antarctica called the Dry Valley. In this valley there is no rainfall for more than 2 million years. With the exception of one valley, the lake briefly filled with water from flowing inland rivers during the summer, the Dry Valley does not contain water vapor (water, ice, or snow). The reason why these Dry Valley there is under 200 mph katabatic winds that evaporate all moisture. Dry valleys are strange: except some steep rocks. This valley is the only part of the continent of Antarctica without ice. Located on the Trans-Antarctic Range and is associated with mountainous areas where the evaporation (or more precisely, sublimation) is more important than snow, so all the ice disappears, leaving a dry wasteland.
