Io is subject to intense volcanic activity, far beyond the volcanic activty on Earth. This prevents any ice from accumulating on its surface.
No, the moon Io is not covered with ice. Io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system, with over 400 active volcanoes. The surface is mainly composed of sulfur and sulfur dioxide, resulting in a colorful and geologically dynamic landscape.
The surface of Io is covered in primarily sulphur, with areas of sulphur dioxide frost.
Typical of moons of the outer solar system nearly all of Jupiter's moons are covered in ice. Only Io, the innermost moon is not and that it because it is powerfully volcanic.

jupiters ice moon is Io
Io has no craters because its surface is continually resurfaced by volcanic activity, which erases impact craters over time. In contrast, Europa's surface is covered in ice and experiences less geological activity, allowing impact craters to remain visible.
It is covered in volcanoes. Currently, it is the only known moon in our solar system to have active volcanoes.
Approximately 98% of Antarctica's surface is covered in ice.
About 80% of Greenland's land surface is covered by ice.
Australia was one continent not covered by ice during the Pleistocene Ice Age. Africa is another continent not covered during this time.
Io does not have liquid water on its surface, but it is known to have water ice in its crust. This water ice can be found in its polar regions and subsurface areas, where it exists in solid form due to the extremely cold temperatures.
