This is a list of the most beautiful and magical deserts in the world, where people are a real rarity…

Atacama
Deserts are places where about 250 millimeters of rain per square meter falls annually. In the Atacama Desert, it falls only 1 millimeter, so it is considered the driest area on the planet. The Atacama stretches through Chile, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. There are almost no plants and animals in it, except chinchillas and cacti.
Antarctica

The thing is that the humidity is not due to rain, but to the fact that 98% of Antarctica is under ice. It is the coldest place in the world, and rainfall is rare, which is why this continent can be called a desert.
Taklamakan
