Antarctica is covered in ice all year round and the temperature rarely rises above zero even in summer.

no there has not


Antarctica, although historically only about 1% of the land is free from ice and available for growing things, has one species of native grass: Antarctic hair grass, Deschampsia antarctica. Several species of non-native grass are becoming established as the glaciers retreat. Also, the islands close to Antarctica are warmer and have more species.

No, Antarctica does not have grasslands. Its harsh climate and ice-covered landscape make it inhospitable for the growth of grass and other vegetation.

Yes. Ninety-eight percent of the continent is covered with an ice sheet, some areas of which are considered glaciers.
