Is Antarctic Icecap closer to Wilkes Land or Queen Maud Land?
The thickest part of the Antarctic ice sheet is around the South Pole and is has been measured to be in excess of 15,000 feet. Both Wilkes Land and Queen Maud Land may have southern extents into the thickest part of the ice sheet.
What is an ice sheet?
The only current ice sheets are Antarctic and Greenland; during the last ice age at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the Laurentide ice sheet covered much of Canada and North America, the Weichselian ice sheet covered northern Europe and the Patagonian Ice Sheet covered southern South America. The Antarctic ice sheet is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. The Greenland ice sheet occupies about 82% of the surface of Greenland, and if melted would cause sea levels to rise by 7.2 metres. Estimated changes in the mass of Greenland's ice sheet suggest it is melting at a rate of about 239 cubic kilometres (57.3 cubic miles) per year. Ice sheets are bigger than ice shelves or glaciers. Masses of ice covering less than 50,000 square kilometers are termed an ice cap. An ice cap will typically feed a series of glaciers around its periphery.
The thickest part of the icecap in Antarctica is approximately how many feet deep?
Not all of the ice sheet that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent has been measured. However, at the South Pole, the ice is estimated to be about 9,000 feet thick.
