The ice sheet that covers 98% of Antarctica contains about 70% of the Earth's store of fresh water and about 90% of the Earth's store of ice.
The Arctic Ocean sea ice reflects about 80% of the sunlight that hits it, and when it melts and cannot reflect the sun's rays, the ocean absorbs about 90% of the sun's warmth, thus elevating the temperature of the Arctic ocean.

Planet other then earth with two polar ice caps?
Mars has two polar ice caps located at its north and south poles. These ice caps are composed of water ice and carbon dioxide ice, and play a crucial role in the planet's climate and geology.
