Select the best evidence to support the statement that the desert of Antarctica helps scientists study outer space.
Antarctica is considered a desert because it receives very little rain or snowfall. The small amount of snow that does fall does not melt but
builds up over hundreds and thousands of years to form large, thick ice sheets. Antarctica's terrain is made up of glaciers, ice shelves, and
icebergs. Antarctica is too cold for people to live there for a long time. Scientists take turns going there. The desert conditions in Antarctica are like
the conditions on Mars; NASA tested robots in Antarctica that later landed on Mars. NASA instruments have also helped scientists create
detailed maps of the surface of Antarctica. The maps help researchers when planning trips to Antarctica.
