In late August 2005, after Hurricane Katrina flattened and trashed everything in Mississippi south of Hattiesburg, the national media outraged the entire state by calling us "the landmass between New Orleans and Mobile". Some parts of the state didn't get power back until well into October, and there was foul dead fish odor as far north as Memphis for weeks. It was like nothing at all was wrong here if you listened to those national media dipshits.

Antarctica is a landmass covered completely in ice.

Well not completely!

The much-studied McMurdo Dry Valleys in Victoria Land, west of McMurdo Sound, are one of the dryest places on Earth. There are some estimates this region hasn't seen rain in two million years. Cold, dense katabatic winds from higher altitudes (wind speeds up to 200 mph) evaporate water, ice, and snow.
