The South Pole, which is located in Antarctica, is a desert. The North Pole is not located on a continent but on sea ice so cannot be considered as a desert. Continental lands that do surround the Arctic would be considered as tundra.
Antarctica is considered a true desert based on its lack of precipitation. The Arctic is not considered to be a true desert as much of it is not land but sea ice and what land is found there is considered to be tundra, a distinct biome, different from a desert.
Only the continent of Antarctica is considered as true desert as it receives very little precipitation. Most of the Arctic is ocean covered by sea ice and not land. The land that is included in the Arctic is either taiga or tundra, not desert.
Yes, it is a polar desert, as is the entire continent of Antarctica.
