The only current ice sheets are Antarctic and Greenland; during the last ice age at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the Laurentide ice sheet covered much of Canada and North America, the Weichselian ice sheet covered northern Europe and the Patagonian Ice Sheet covered southern South America.
The Antarctic ice sheet is the largest single mass of ice on Earth.
The Greenland ice sheet occupies about 82% of the surface of Greenland, and if melted would cause sea levels to rise by 7.2 metres.
Estimated changes in the mass of Greenland's ice sheet suggest it is melting at a rate of about 239 cubic kilometres (57.3 cubic miles) per year. Ice sheets are bigger than ice shelves or glaciers.
Masses of ice covering less than 50,000 square kilometers are termed an ice cap.
An ice cap will typically feed a series of glaciers around its periphery.

Antarctica is the store for 90% of the earth's ice: an ice sheet covers 98% of the continent.
The ice sheet holds 100% of Antarctica's . . . ice sheet.

a sheet of ice is called a glacier
The ice sheet exceeds 1500 meters in both of these ice sheets, with the Arctic ice sheet referring to the Greenland Ice Sheet.

The antarctic ice sheet in the southern hemisphere is the only true ice sheet that remains on the planet.
The antarctic ice sheet in the southern hemisphere is the only true ice sheet that remains on the planet.
The Ice Sheet at Ogden was created in 1994.
In Canada, at least, the sheet of ice is simply referred to as a rink.

All of the ice that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent is called an ice sheet. Several glaciers are named, and the ice sheet is named the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
