Desert is referring barren land with little vegetation; it doesn't need to be hot and sandy. Could also mean a place with little to no population. Both of those definitions fit Antarctica perfectly.

In 1939 the Soviet Foreign Minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, claimed Russia was not dropping bombs on Finland, but merely airlifting food to starving Finns.
The Finns, who were not starving, soon dubbed the RRAB-3 cluster bomb "Molotov's bread basket", and named the improvised incendiary device that they used to counter Soviet tanks the "Molotov cocktail", as "a drink to go with the food".


In 2005, Finnish cuisine came under heavy fire from two leaders of countries renowned for their cuisine (Italy and France). The Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi claimed that "I've been to Finland and I had to endure the Finnish diet so I am in a position to make a comparison." Berlusconi started his anti-Finnish food campaign in 2001. He went on: "The Finns don't even know what Parma ham is."
Later, in 2008, the Finnish pizza chain Kotipizza (Homepizza) won the America’s Plate International pizza contest in New York, while Italy came in second.
They named their award-winning smoked reindeer pizza Berlusconi as symbolic payback for the critique Finnish cuisine had received from the Italian prime minister earlier.


...Never let it be said that Finns have no sense of humour :'P
