Only a very small percentage of Iceland is continuously covered in ice. There are times of year when Iceland is covered in snow and at higher altitudes there is usually some ice. This one misconception that comes from it's name. Iceland is actually the green island while Greenland is the icier.
Iceland's average temperatures are similar Alaska. Reaching lows of about 25 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and Highs of just under 60 degrees in the summer. That means that most of the ice and snow that accumulates in the winter melts in the mild summers
None of Ireland is covered in ice. During winter, in very cold weather, you will get some temporary ice where some water may freeze, like on roads or ponds, but it is not ongoing and there are no icebergs or anything like that in Ireland. Ireland has a mild climate overall, so it is not cold enough for ice to be a permanent feature.
Ninety-eight percent of the Antarctic continent is covered by its ice sheet.
11% of Iceland is covered with glaciers (ca 11400 km2 of 103125 km2).

Iceland isn't really covered in ice as much as Greenland. Iceland is more green and Greenland is more icy. ------------------------------ (improved) Iceland is a geologically young land, Iceland is located on both the Iceland hot-spot and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which runs right through it. This combined location means that geologically the island is extremely active, having many volcanoes.
