Polar ice caps are high latitude regions that are covered in ice. Since for ice to form there has to be specific temperature ranges polar ice caps form only in very cold environments such as the North Pole (over water only), Greenland and Antarctica.

Which polar cap on Mars is larger and colder?
Mars Polar CapThe southern polar cap is larger and colder. It is composed of carbon dioxide (dry ice) while the northern is mainly water ice (which freezes at a warmer temperature, therefore the dry ice cap in the south is colder).
What exactly is a polar ice cap?
A polar ice cap is a high latitude part of a planet which is covered in ice. There are polar ice caps on other planets not just on earth. There is some known to be on Mars too. Polar ice caps form because of the lack of sunlight which gets to them. They are in the North and South pole.
Where are ice cap and tundra climates?
