Are polar ice caps freshwater?

Since sea water is much denser than freshwater, the pH level would be higher. The saline levels in the sea water contributes to a higher acidic level.
Where is the majority of the earths freshwater found?

How is an ice shelf different from an ice berg?
An ice shelf is a floating extension of a continental ice sheet, which means generally the only place you find them is in Antarctica. When ice breaks off this ice shelf, which is adjacent to ocean water, it becomes a chunk of (freshwater) ice and floats off to its death. This is an ice berg. Ice bergs refer to any ice in the ocean that has broken off from glaciers, so it doesn't necessarily have to break off an ice shelf. Ice bergs are separate from sea ice, however, which forms from sea water that freezes.
What is the water availability in Antarctica?
Water is abundant by melting glacial ice or by desalinating sea water.
Do sea have freshwater?
No
Which continent has the least freshwater stored as ice?
