Most of the world's ice is in Antarctica which is covered to an average depth of more than two kilometers of ice (2133 meters or 7000 feet). Ice at the North Pole is not nearly as thick. There is also a significant amount of ice on Greenland. Total water on earth (estimated): 326,000,000 cubic miles (1360,000,000 cubic km) 3% of that is fresh. 90% of all fresh water is frozen in ice.
