Answer:

Antarctic desert (aka Antartica)

Explanation:

The Antarctic Desert is the largest desert on Earth, measuring a total of 13.8 million square kilometers. Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and most isolated continent on Earth, and is considered a desert because its annual precipitation can be less than 51 mm in the interior. It’s covered by a permanent ice sheet that contains 90% of the Earth’s fresh water. Only 2% of the continent isn’t covered by ice, and this land is strictly along the coasts, where all the life that is associated with the land mass (such as  penguins, seals and various species of birds) reside. The other 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice which averages 1.6 km in thickness.

Which Indian group lived in houses on stilts
solmaris [256]
The North American Tribe called The Mojave tribe lived in the Colorado River during Summer and Spring. They live in thatched huts raised of the ground by stilts.  Actually they lived in two different kinds of houses depending on the seasons.  In the summer and spring when they fished for existence, they stay in houses made up of wooden frame and covered with grass, raised on the ground with stilts. These would protect them from summer flooding.
In the winter and fall when they lived further from the Colorado River. They would live in earthen houses. The earthen houses were made of wooden frames but were packed with clay to keep the heat in. This was good for the cold winter and fall. These houses made good shelter for desert weather.
