That description applies to Earth and Mars.

If you wanted to include Pluto in a discussion of "planets", then you'd have to say

that it should be listed as another one whose poles are covered with ice, being that

its entire surface apparently is.

What two planets have ice poles?

This depends on what you mean by Ice and Cap. If you want an answer that covers ONLY H2O (water) then only the earth fits that definition. Otherwise ALL non Jovian (Gas Giant) planets in orbits past Earth from the Sun are cold enough to have frozen gas and liquid on their surfaces, even at the poles. And all of them do. Some like Neptune ( and some moons) may be completely covered.
