They have little precipitation. There's plenty of ice in the Antarctic.

  Are you sure about that? A river delta could be completely lush without any precipitation, but I don’t think that’d be a desert.

    From the link someone else already provided: Most polar deserts are covered in ice sheets, ice fields, or ice caps. (I'm getting a chuckle out of the multiple layers of pedantry here.)

    Nile delta is in a desert (4-8" rain/yr), so yes.
