Approximately 69% of all the fresh water on Earth is ice, with the majority of it being found in the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. This frozen water accounts for about 10% of the planet's land area.
Approximately 68.7% of the fresh water on Earth is locked up in glaciers and ice caps. This frozen water plays a critical role in regulating global climate and sea levels.

Around 68.7% of Earth's freshwater is locked up in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow at the poles.
About 68.7% of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps, making it frozen.
About 97% of Earth's water is salt water in oceans and seas, while about 3% is fresh water. Of this fresh water, the majority is stored in glaciers and ice caps, as well as underground. Only a small percentage, around 0.3%, is found in surface water sources like rivers and lakes.
It is estimated that about 70% of the earth's fresh water is frozen in Antarctica's ice sheet.
The answer depends on the context: Do you want: frozen water as a percentage of all water on earth? frozen water as a percentage of all matter on earth? frozen water as a percentage of all water in the solar system, or beyond? frozen water as a percentage of all matter in the solar system, or beyond? There are other possible interpretations.
Technically, none of it. The hydrosphere is the liquid water on Earth. The Cryosphere is the ice. However, only 3 percent of the water on Earth is fresh, 97 % is salt water. Of that 3 % frsh water, 85 % is frozen so 85% of 3% of the water is frozen. So, 2.55% of Earths water is frozen.
A bit less than 2% of the worlds water is frozen. Antarctica accounts for about 80% of the worlds fresh water.
About 30 percent of earth is land and 70 percent is water.
Approximately 68.7% of the fresh water on Earth is locked up in glaciers and ice caps. This frozen water plays a critical role in regulating global climate and sea levels.

Their is .5% frozen water in the whole world.
Antarctica's fresh water cache is about 70% of all the fresh water on earth -- frozen in its ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent.
All the fresh water in Antarctica is frozen. The ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent contains about 70% of the earth's store of fresh water. As well, it contains about 90% of the earth's store of ice.
40% 2nd Answer: More like 69% of the Earth's FRESH water is frozen in the two polar ice caps. The ice at the very bottom of the south polar ice cap is as much as 100,000 years old. It is also about 2.3 thousand meters below sea level.
there is not much water in the tundra but it is usually frozen all year.
