Would be interesting to know exactly how few people live in the Brazilian rainforest, the Greenland and Canadian Tundras, the Sahara Desert, the Siberian Desert, the near-uninhabitable Himalayas and the great barren wasteland of central Australia that could have nearly the population of eastern India.
