The correct answer is:

✅ The Atacama Desert (Chile/Peru)

Rainfall: Some parts of the Atacama average 0.04 inches (1 mm) per year—with zones that haven’t seen rain in 400+ years.

NASA Comparison: Its soil is so arid it’s used to simulate Mars.

Cause: The rain shadow from the Andes + cold Humboldt Ocean current blocks moisture.

❌ Sahara: Larger but gets ~3 inches (75 mm) yearly.

❌ Gobi: Cold desert with slightly more precipitation.

Fun Fact: The Atacama’s dryness preserves ancient mummies better than Egyptian tombs! ☠️🏜️

Bonus: Its flowers bloom explosively in rare El Niño years—a phenomenon called "desierto florido." 🌸🌎
