The Earth total water volume is roughly 1.3 billion cubic kilometres (Volume of all of the oceans), while the volume of water locked in Antarctica is roughly 30 million cubic kilometres. This works out to be about 2.3%;
(3.0x107 / (3.0x107+1.3x109)) x 100
Another way is to consider that Antarctica holds 70% of the worlds freshwater, where freshwater as a whole makes up 3% of the words water. 70% of 3% = roughly 2.1%
