The Antarctic Ice Sheet consists of about 13.72 million sq km of permanent ice representing 90% of the world's ice.

According to Wikipedia, at the South Pole -- 90 degrees South Latitude, the ice is 9,301 feet thick -- that is, above sea level.

No. The South Pole sits on nearly two-miles thick of ice. Any cave on the polar plateau would be a deadly crevasse.

Ice caves are found on Antarctica's beaches, which are crevasses that open at the bottom as the ice sheet toungues into the Southern Ocean to form icebergs.
