Do the North and South Poles have wet or dry climates? How do you know?

The Poles are very dry. In fact, the South Pole is the driest continent on Earth. In terms of precipitation, precipitation amounts are actually low. In fact, some parts of the Arctic are polar deserts and receive about the same amount of precipitation as the Sahara desert.
