Only two landmasses are covered with ice sheets: Antarctica and Greenland. All other land is not so covered.
The ice over the Arctic ocean covers open water.
Thenorth pole !
The North Pole, as it is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice Cap, which floats on top of the Arctic Ocean.
Yes, there is no landmass under the ice
Yes it does, the South Point is a point of the Ice cap of the continent of Antarctica. At 14.0 million km2 (5.4 million sq mi), it is the fifth-largest continent, so there is a heck of a lot of land there, under a vast amount of ice.

The North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and is covered by floating sea ice with no land underneath. In contrast, the South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica, which is a landmass covered by ice sheets.
They both have glacial land mass. Glacial land mass is essentially ice, so it can grow or shrink based on the climate cycle. The North Pole, as it is a point on the Arctic ice sheet, that floats on the Arctic Ocean. The South Pole has a landmass buried below the ice cap.
Both polar regions occupy lands that are permanently covered with ice. Specifically, the South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica, a landmass that covers 10% of the Earth's surface. The North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean, and south of the North Pole, you'll find permanent ice in land from Northern Europe, Northern Russia, Northern North America and Greenland.
Antarctica is, indeed, a continent, making up 10% of the Earth's surface.
Per se, no. The South Pole is a GPS point on the Earth known as 90 degrees S.However, the South Pole is found on the continent of Antarctica, which is a land mass.
No there is no landmass under the North Pole
The North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and is covered by sea ice, so there is no land directly underneath it. In contrast, the South Pole is situated on the continent of Antarctica, which is a landmass covered by ice sheets that are kilometers thick.
