What is the smallest desert of the world ??

 The  Carcross desert located near Carcross in Yukon, Canada  is the world's smallest desert.


It is technically a series of sand dunes, spanning about 1 square Mile.


Technically, some scientists say it is not a " true  " desert because the rainfall is very high.



Its  a sub Arctic environment receiving significant precipitation making it much wetter than typical hot deserts.




It is actually a sandy bottom of a drained glacier lake from last ice age  !!!
