flow in all directions
They are enormous masses of ice that flow in all directions.
The ice sheet holds 100% of Antarctica's . . . ice sheet.
an ice sheet is a sheet, ice berg is a berg
The only current ice sheets are Antarctic and Greenland; during the last ice age at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the Laurentide ice sheet covered much of Canada and North America, the Weichselian ice sheet covered northern Europe and the Patagonian Ice Sheet covered southern South America. The Antarctic ice sheet is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. The Greenland ice sheet occupies about 82% of the surface of Greenland, and if melted would cause sea levels to rise by 7.2 metres. Estimated changes in the mass of Greenland's ice sheet suggest it is melting at a rate of about 239 cubic kilometres (57.3 cubic miles) per year. Ice sheets are bigger than ice shelves or glaciers. Masses of ice covering less than 50,000 square kilometers are termed an ice cap. An ice cap will typically feed a series of glaciers around its periphery.
a sheet of ice is called a glacier
The ice sheet exceeds 1500 meters in both of these ice sheets, with the Arctic ice sheet referring to the Greenland Ice Sheet.
ice sheet
Yes, the Antarctic ice sheet is located in the southern hemisphere. It covers an area of around 14 million square kilometers and contains about 70% of the world's fresh water in the form of ice.
The antarctic ice sheet in the southern hemisphere is the only true ice sheet that remains on the planet.

The Ice Sheet at Ogden was created in 1994.
1. Ice sheets contain enormous quantities of frozen water. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, scientists estimate that sea level would rise about 6 meters (20 feet). If the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea level would rise by about 60 meters (200 feet). 2. The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets contain more than 99 percent of the freshwater ice on Earth. 3. An ice sheet is a mass of glacial land ice extending more than 50,000 square kilometers (20,000 square miles).
