Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface -- land. Ninety-eight percent of it is covered with an ice sheet -- ice.
Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface, and it is 100% land. Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet, which covers 98% of its surface.
Antarctica is a land mass that covers 10% of the surface of planet earth. Ninety-eight percent of it is covered with an ice sheet. Ice is frozen water.

Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered with an ice sheet. It's underlying landscape is mostly unknown, but it does represent 10% of the surface of the Earth.
Approximately 10% of the world's land area is covered in ice, mostly in the form of glaciers and ice sheets located in Antarctica and Greenland.
Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface. The continent is covered by ice -- about 98% of the continent in fact. This means that the continent is the continent; the ice is the ice, and zero percent of the continent is ice, but 100% of the ice is ice.
Antarctica is 10% of the surface of the Earth, and is made up of land. However, 98% of it is covered by an ice sheet.
Antarctica is land covered in snow and ice. The icecap is a bit bigger than the the size of the land.
Nope...lots of land, even unfrozen lakes, under the ice. Basically, Antarctica is a small continent (say the size of Australia) covered by a sheet of ice...and now it's shrinking. no, underneath the ice is rocky land Edited by Danielle Robertson 5/3/2009 :P
Antarctica is a land mass that makes up 10% of the earth's surface. It is covered by an ice sheet leaving only two percent of its land uncovered. It is surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
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.
