No. Ninetyy-eight percent of Antarctica is covered with an ice sheet. There is no fresh water there, except that which is frozen.
It is a fresh water stream.

The Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica is a salt-water ocean. The ice sheet that covers 98% of Antarctica is frozen fresh water.
Antarctica's ice sheet contains about 70% of the earth's fresh water.

Antarctica's fresh water cache is about 70% of all the fresh water on earth -- frozen in its ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent.
Fresh water is either melted ice or desalinated sea water.
Fresh water that is contained in the Antarctic ice sheet originates in the atmosphere.
More than half, about 70% of the earth's fresh water is stored in Antarctica's ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent. As to why, the answer is that the formation of ice from fresh water is most prolific on the continent of Antarctica. This process has taken place for millenia.
70 % is water and 90% is ice
Any water in Antarctica forms into ice, either sea ice or fresh-water ice.
