What does icecap mean?

An icecap is a large area of thick ice that covers the land, typically found in polar regions. Icecaps are characterized by their dome-shaped ice mass and can flow outward, contributing to glaciers. They are crucial indicators of climate change, as their melting can lead to rising sea levels. Icecaps are distinct from ice sheets, which are larger and cover significant land areas, like those in Antarctica and Greenland.
