How does grass grow in Antarctica?

Grass does not grow in Antarctica. Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth. The average temperature in Antarctica is -57 degrees Fahrenheit (-49 degrees Celsius). The air is so dry that it can cause your skin to crack and bleed. The winds can reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour (322 kilometers per hour). These conditions make it impossible for grass to grow in Antarctica.
