The layers laid down in the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent have been dated as far back as about 750,000 years, according to NASA. Generally, one layer equals one year.

Antarctica is not known for its snow: it's known for its ice. Any moisture that falls in Antarctica accumulates in layers forming an ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent. The ice sheet stores 90% of the earth's ice and about 70% of the earth's fresh water. Since not all the areas of Antarctica have been measured for the depth of the ice, there are a few notable depths to report. For example, the ice at the South Pole is about 9,000 feet thick.
