Antarctica is considered a desert, with annual precipitation of only 200 mm (8 inches) along the coast and far less inland. Only cold-adapted organisms survive there, including many types of algae, animals (for example mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades), bacteria, fungi, plants, and protista.
   The continents all have some type of desert. Due to increased  desertification, every continent can now be said to have a desert.  Antarctica is also â¦ classified as a desert because it receives less  than 250mm of precipitation per year, and deserts can be cold areas  as well as hot.   Europe used to be the only continent without a desert.ue to increased  desertification, every continent can now be said to have a desert.
