There are. In 2007 scientists announced there may be subglacial systems of rivers under Antarctica's ice. It may be more than one and a half times the size of the United States, which would make it the world's largest wetland.

Where are wetlands located?
wetlands are located in every continent except Antarctica
What continent are the wetlands located on?
Wetlands can be found on every continent except Antarctica. They are diverse ecosystems that provide essential habitats for many plant and animal species.
Why does Antarctica not have wetlands?
Antarctica is a polar continent, 98% of which is covered by an ice sheet. Wetlands would not be wet; they would be frozen. As well, it's so cold on the Antarctic continent that nothing grows there, except a few short species of grass that grow on the Antarctic Peninsula.
What animalss live on antarctica?
First of all to tell all the people who think that polarbears are in Antarctica, there arent actually any there. There are lots of penguins, krill and sharks and stuff...
Why arent natural resources from Antarctica used more often?
Natural resources found on Antarctica aren't used often because there have not been large enough quantities found there worth exploiting
What is wetlands geographic distribution?
Wetlands are found all over the world, spanning every continent except Antarctica. They can be found in a variety of ecosystems, including coastal areas, rivers and lakes, and even in urban areas. The geographic distribution of wetlands is influenced by factors such as climate, topography, and proximity to water sources.
What is the temperature range in a wetland?
It really depends on where it is (Antarctica or Florida)
What are wetlands and where are they located?
Wetlands are areas of land that are covered by water either permanently or seasonally. They are found all over the world, in every continent except Antarctica. Common types of wetlands include marshes, swamps, bogs, and mangroves.
What is the Geographic Distribution for wetlands?
Wetlands are found globally, occurring on every continent except Antarctica. They are typically located in areas where water meets the land, such as along coastlines, riverbanks, floodplains, and in low-lying regions. Key types of wetlands include marshes, swamps, bogs, and fens, which vary in distribution based on climate, topography, and hydrology. Notably, tropical regions contain extensive wetlands like the Amazon River Basin, while temperate areas feature significant wetlands such as the Everglades in Florida.
Why arent there forests in Antarctica?
Ninety-eight percent of the continent is covered with an ice sheet, plusm it's too cold in this polar environment to support forests.
Does California have wetlands?
There are many wetlands in California
What percentage of Australia is covered by wetlands?
It is difficult to give a straight answer. Despite being the driest continent on earth after Antarctica, Australia has 520 wetlands which are recognised by state authorities as being "important". Coastal and marine wetlands, which make up 161 of these recognised wetlands, make up 42% of the coastal strip. The coastal strip is roughly defined as a 3 km strip extending from marine waters inland. This coastal strip also includes very large areas of mangroves and tidal flats, mostly in northern Australia. The percentage of the coastal zone defined as wetlands varies from 64% in Northern Territory to 14% in Tasmania. There are also numerous wetlands areas inland, but many of these have dried up as a result of European settlement interrupting normal water flows. There are no readily available figures suggesting Australia's percentage of actual wetlands.
