Polar ice caps are the coldest place on the earth. The temperature here is very low, always below 0 degree Celsius on an average.
Polar ice caps has no vegetation because:
1. Ice is present on the ground permanently.
2. Water present in the soil remains frozen and thus, unavailable for plants to grow.
3. Cold weather that do not support vegetation.
