None. There is less than five percent humidity in Antarctica, so there is essentially no show. What blows around on top of the ice sheet are ice crystals, blown free by the Katabatic winds on the continent.

Why are all of the ice shelves melting away from antarctica?

The centre of Antarctica has had snow falling on it for about 100,000 years. This snow doesn't melt but becomes ice with the weight of more snow on top. This is 7 million cubic miles (30 million cubic km) of ice.This huge weight of ice forces the ice outwards radially all round the coast in the form of ice shelves that float out on the surface of the ocean. Some of these shelves rest on the sea bed. The ocean is warming and the warmer water melts the ice underneath the shelves, so the shelves become thinner and break off to form icebergs.

Antarctica covers which of the Earth's poles?

Alpine glaciers and their movement is common in mountainous areas. Antarctica, however, is covered with an ice sheet, and its glaciers often flow into the sea without the alpine glacier brown or grey colour associated with carving valleys or bowls common in other mountainous areas on earth. Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered with this ice sheet, so most glaciers flow on top of more stable ice.


What starts with N and is in Antarctica?

You may be thinking of nunatak -- a mountain top that pokes out of the ice sheet.


What causes snow and firn to be compressed into mass of ice?

Snow and firn are compressed into a mass of ice due to the weight of the overlying snow, which increases pressure on the underlying layers. This pressure causes the snow crystals to recrystallize, expelling air and turning into denser ice. Over time, continued compression and recrystallization lead to the formation of glacier ice.
