Ninety-eight percent of the Antarctic continent is covered with an ice sheet. There are no rivers on the continent of flowing water.
There are, however, ice floes, which can be described as ice rivers that flow on top of the ice sheet. Their movement can be measured in a few feet or a few meters per day.
