Oh sorry. Some people wouldn't call it Habitable. But there is a fair amount of land in AK that has not been explored. There is a reason why it is called "The Last Frontier". So unless you are going by satellite imaging, there is still some frontier, though it is dwindling pretty rapidly.
I thought as much. We already know what's in that "frontier".......freezing death. |

And lots of natural resources. Death has been at the frontier since the beginning of frontiers. That's just part and parcel of its nature. |

Yeah but you're not going to freeze to death exploring the dessert. I'll wait for the satellite to tell what lies in the frozen wastes. |

Not so. Overnight temps in the desert can easily be low enough to make you freeze to death, depending on when and where you are. And death by exposure is CERTAINLY possible in the desert, no matter what the temperature is. Hey, you don't like being cold? No problem; I won't try to make you go anywhere you don't want to go. But I will argue with you about colder places being worthless for ANYONE to explore. |

Wrong. You can freeze to death in deserts like Iraq, gets really low in temp |

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT! Most people aren't stupid enough to try exploring at night, so typical desert lows don't apply. That is when you pitch camp and get a fire going. And yes, I am aware that there are deserts that have low daytime temps, but those are atypical. |

Also wrong. There is a fair amount of AK that is classified as "desert". Also I see no reason why it would be impossible to "freeze to death exploring the dessert". I know of plenty of desserts that are frozen. The biggest and most well known being Ice Cream. |

I was deliberately ignoring the misspelling, because typos and auto-correct happen, but... yeah. Deserts are areas that have an average annual precipitation of under 10" (25.4cm for those who need the conversion), so LARGE parts of Alaska (and northern Canada) qualify as deserts. |

And Antarctica I was under the impression that those regions were referred to as TUNDRA not Desert. I wasn't going to let it slide with Logos. Anyone else, yes. But not Logos. He deserved it. Keep talking Knew Guy. |

Referred to, yes. Technically classified as Desert though. Keep talking Knew Guy.
I know, I just had to do it. |
