2nd Answer:
More like 69% of the Earth's FRESH water is frozen in the two polar ice caps. The ice at the very bottom of the south polar ice cap is as much as 100,000 years old. It is also about 2.3 thousand meters below sea level.

In what form is most of the earth's fresh water?
Only about 3% of Earth's water is fresh. Two percent of the Earth's water (about 66% of all fresh water) is in solid form, found in ice caps and glaciers. Because it is frozen and so far away, the fresh water in ice caps is not available for use by people or plants. That leaves about 1% of all the Earth's water in a form usable to humans and land animals. This fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, and in the ground. (A small amount of water is found as vapor in the atmosphere.)
