Antarctica has the most water by mass, as it contains about 61% of all fresh water on Earth in the form of ice. If considering surface area, Asia has the highest total area covered by water due to its extensive Coastlines and numerous inland bodies of water.
An island continent is a continent that is entirely surrounded by water and is composed mostly of one or more large islands. Australia is an example of an island continent, as it is both a continent and a large landmass surrounded by the ocean.
The continent of Africa has more countries than any other continent.
The part of the continent covered by water is called the continental shelf. It is the underwater extension of a continent that slopes gradually from the shore into the ocean.
Australia is both a continent and an island. As a continent, it is the smallest continent and is also considered an island continent because it is surrounded by water.

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.
