No, it is actually an ice sheet or ice cap. 98% of Antarctica is buried under ice, in places more than 12,000 feet thick. Antarctica has many glaciers, including those that push into the Southern Ocean along its shores. Even larger structures, the ice shelves, extend into the ocean for many kilometers.
Antarctica is a continent covering 10% of our planet. It is the seventh continent.
Ninety-eight percent of it is covered with an ice sheet, which contains about 70% of the earth's store of fresh water and about 90% of the earth's store of ice.
No. Antarctica is a continent covered by a polar ice cap.
Lambert Glacier in Antarctica
About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice, which averages at least 1.6 kilometres (1.0 mi) in thickness.

The Lambert Glacier in East Antarctica, is the longest glacier in Antarctica and the world. It is about 40 km wide and about 400 km long. It drains nearly 8% of the Antarctic Ice Sheet into the Amery Ice Shelf.
Beardmore Glacier is located in Antarctica, the southernmost continent on Earth. It is one of the largest glaciers in Antarctica and plays a significant role in the continent's ice dynamics.
The Beardmore Glacier is located in Antarctica, which is a continent situated at the southernmost part of the Earth. Antarctica is known for its vast ice sheets and extreme cold temperatures.
