Where is the driest place on Earth?

In the Dry Valleys of Antarctica

Background

The driest place on Earth is not in a desert but in Antarctica. In the Dry Valleys it has not rained for about two million years. Strong, dry winds blow every bit of moisture away. That is why the ground there looks almost like Mars.
