∙ 14y agoMost of the Earth's ice is near the South pole or, more correctly, the Antarctic.
According to the website at the related link below, about 90% of the earth's fresh water is locked up in ice at the Antarctic. The Antarctic Ice Sheet consists of about 13.72 million sq km of permanent ice.

Where are ice caps located on earth?
The North Pole, Greenland, and the Arctic Ocean are all examples of where ice caps are located
How many polar ice caps does earth have?
Two, north polar ice cap and south polar ice cap , the arctic and the antarctic
What country have a polar ice cap?
Polar ice caps are high latitude regions that are covered in ice. Since for ice to form there has to be specific temperature ranges polar ice caps form only in very cold environments such as the North Pole (over water only), Greenland and Antarctica.
What is coldest the south pole or the north pole?
==The South Pole== The South Pole is generally colder than the North Pole, partly because it is higher (9000' above sea level) and partly because it is further from the warming effects of water. On the other hand, neither is considered the coldest place on Earth. Parts of Siberia and Greenland are often colder than the North Pole, and Vostok Station in Antarctica with an elevation of around 11,500' is not only colder than the South Pole, but is considered the coldest place on Earth with an average temperature of -67F.South Pole
How does the melting of ice caps near the north pole affect the salinity of the ocean?
The ice-caps are made from frozen fresh water. When it melts into the ocean - it's adding pure water to the mixture - not salt water.
Are the polar ice caps in the north pole?
No. There are two polar ice caps: one around the north pole and one around the south pole.
Which pole contains the largest ice cap north or south pole?
The north pole contains the largest ice caps ;-)
What kind of ice is the north and south pole made of?
caps
What is the state of matter of the ice caps on the North Pole?
The ice caps at the North Pole are solid.
What kind of soil is in the polar ice caps?
Well....there is no land below the north pole...south has a lot of ice on top....
Are the icecaps of mars composed mostly of frozen water?
The ice caps in the North pole of Mars compose of frozen water and frozen carbon dioxide and the ice caps on the South Pole consists mainly of of frozen water.
Where are the melting ice caps?
In the Arctic the polar ice cap is melting, losing about 3% ice every year. In the summer of 2007, for the first time in recorded history, the North-West Passage was open for shipping.
Which regions have no landmass under the ice the north pole or the south pole?
The North Pole, as it is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice Cap, which floats on top of the Arctic Ocean.
Where are ice caps located on earth?
The North Pole, Greenland, and the Arctic Ocean are all examples of where ice caps are located
What countries claim the North Pole?
There are no claims by any country to the North Pole.
The North Pole is north of which island?
It is mostly water and ice bergs
Are the north and south pole ice caps?
There are glaciers in the Arctic, but the North Pole itself is not glaciated. This is because, by their very definition, glaciers are regions of fresh water ice on land, and quite different to sea ice. The North Pole itself does not lie on any land mass, but on a floating ice sheet known as the Greenland or Arctic ice sheet - therefore, there can be no glaciers on the North Pole.
