Not all of the ice sheet that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent has been measured.
However, at the South Pole, the ice is estimated to be about 9,000 feet thick.
The crust is thickest under continents! The crust is thickest under Mount Everest, where it's approx. 65km deep
Antarctica is land covered in snow and ice. The icecap is a bit bigger than the the size of the land.
Antarctica is a continent of approximately 14,000,000 sq km. The Transantarctic Mountains divide Antarctica into east and west. East Antarctica constitutes the bulk of the land mass and is the oldest part of the continent. West Antarctica is the newer and smaller area which includes the Antarctic Peninsula and consists of four land areas separated by deep water.

The A horizon is typically the thickest layer of topsoil, ranging from a few inches to several feet deep. This layer is rich in organic matter and nutrients, making it ideal for plant growth and cultivation.
Mostly nothing grows in Antarctica: it's too cold there.
it can be 40 meters deep
