Google Doesn't Know What Is The Largest Desert

When I click on your link the top entry says:

    The second largest desert is the Arctic,
    with 13.7 million square km.  The third
    largest desert in the world is the more
    familiar Sahara, with a total size of
    9.1 million square km.  Antarctica is
    the coldest, windiest, and most isolated
    continent on Earth.

That clearly implies that Antarctica is the largest desert. It's then accompanied by an image showing a map of Antarctica.

Why are you saying that Google doesn't know what the largest desert is? It clearly does - it's Antarctica.

The big heading says "sahara", while the text says Antarctica.

  Hah - you are right! Somehow I skipped reading the big "Sahara" at the top and read the actual text, and looked at the image. I never read the "title".
  Mea culpa - I was wrong.

    Either it must have been fixed in the last couple of minutes or it isn't global issue. https://imgur.com/O5NlrV6
