Really? Maybe parts of it, those at very high latitudes, are. But
I thought a lot of it was more like the Sahara or Death Valley,
with the usual temperatures we associate with deserts.

But I see that I'm mistaken. While most of it is not covered by
ice and snow, like other cold deserts, it is still considered to
be a cold desert. Nearly all of it is at a high latitude, and
it is close to Siberia, after all.
