Approximately 68.7% of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps, making it frozen. This frozen fresh water plays a critical role in regulating global climate and sea levels.
About 68.7% of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps, making it frozen.
Approximately 69% of fresh water on Earth is in the form of liquid, primarily found in rivers, lakes, and groundwater. The remaining fresh water is stored in frozen form in glaciers and ice caps.
Seventy percent of our world's fresh water is held in glaciers and ice caps, mainly in polar regions. This frozen water plays a crucial role in regulating global climate and supplying water to rivers and ecosystems.
Fresh water in frozen glaciers and ice caps accounts for about 69% of the total amount of fresh water on earth.
Since the water that melts is classified as "fresh". the polar ice represents about 50% of the world supply of fresh water. Overall the polar ice is about 2% of all water.
Only 2 percent of fresh water is frozen in glaciers.

No. Ninetyy-eight percent of Antarctica is covered with an ice sheet. There is no fresh water there, except that which is frozen.
Only about 1.7% of the world's total water is trapped in glaciers and ice caps, but about 68.7% of fresh water on Earth is frozen in them.
According to NOAA: "Of the three percent of the water that is not in the ocean, about 69 percent is locked up in glaciers and icecaps. Ninety percent of that frozen water is in Antarctica and about nine percent covers Greenland."
The ice sheet that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent contains about 60% of the earth's fresh water, according to Wikipedia.
According to the Fresh Water entry in Wikipedia:- Out of all the water on Earth, only 2.75 percent is fresh water, including 2.05 percent frozen in Glaciers, 0.68 percent as Groundwaterand 0.011 percent of it as Surface_waterin lakes and rivers.Freshwater lakes, most notably Lake_Baikalin Russia and the Great_Lakes_(North_Americain North America, contain seven-eighths of this fresh surface water. Swamps have most of the balance with only a small amount in rivers, most notably the Amazon_River.The atmosphere contains 0.04% water. In areas with no fresh water on the ground surface, fresh water derived from precipitation may, because of its lower density, overlie saline ground water in lenses or layers.Most of the world's fresh water is frozen in Ice_sheets.
The pie graph is showing all the water on earth. 97% represents the amount that is salt water. 2% represents frozen fresh water. 1% represents liquid fresh water.
