Ice rink?
All of the ice that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent is called an ice sheet. Several glaciers are named, and the ice sheet is named the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

The ice sheet holds 100% of Antarctica's . . . ice sheet.
a sheet of ice is called a glacier
The ice sheet exceeds 1500 meters in both of these ice sheets, with the Arctic ice sheet referring to the Greenland Ice Sheet.

The Ice Sheet at Ogden was created in 1994.
An ice sheet is a large mass of glacial ice that covers land, while an iceberg is a large floating mass of ice that has broken off from a glacier or ice shelf and is floating in the ocean. Ice sheets are stationary, while icebergs can drift with ocean currents.
An ice sheet that covers land for thousands of years is known as a continental ice sheet. These are massive glaciers that form over vast areas due to the accumulation of snow and ice over long periods of time. Examples include the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the Greenland Ice Sheet.
In Canada, at least, the sheet of ice is simply referred to as a rink.
Ice that is 2km thick can be found in areas such as the Greenland Ice Sheet or the Antarctic Ice Sheet. These ice sheets are massive bodies of ice that cover the land, with the Antarctic Ice Sheet being the thickest, reaching up to 4.8km in some parts.
No it does not. Antarctica The term Continental Ice Sheet is given to a glacier that is over 20,000 mi2 (50,000km2 ). As the Greenland Ice Sheet is 660,235 mi2 (1,710,00km2), this puts it well into Continental Ice Sheet size bracket. So even though it is on an island, it's size gives it the right to be classed as a Continental Ice Sheet.
