Alpine glaciers and their movement is common in mountainous areas.
Antarctica, however, is covered with an ice sheet, and its glaciers often flow into the sea without the alpine glacier brown or grey colour associated with carving valleys or bowls common in other mountainous areas on earth.
Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered with this ice sheet, so most glaciers flow on top of more stable ice.
The North and South Poles would be located at the same positions as they are currently, with the North Pole at the top of the Earth and the South Pole at the bottom. Antarctica's position would not affect the locations of the poles.
Earth has two poles: the North Pole and the South Pole. The South Pole is located in Antarctica, while the North Pole is in the Arctic Ocean. The Earth's geographic poles are the points where its axis of rotation meets its surface.

Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.

As Antarctica is located at one of the poles, it covers every line of longitude; the only one of the continents to do do.
Antarctica covers about 10% of the earth's surface, about the same as USA and Mexico combined.
Antarctica, It is mainly ice and rock while Africa is rock and soil.
According to Wikipedia, this number is about 61% of the earth's fresh water frozen in the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent of Antarctica.
The Ice sheet that covers 98% of Antarctica is the most sun-ray-reflective surface on earth. Antarctica is home to the South Pole.
Antarctica covers 10% of the earth's surface.
North and South poles
Antarctica IS on the South Pole.

The North and South Poles would be located at the same positions as they are currently, with the North Pole at the top of the Earth and the South Pole at the bottom. Antarctica's position would not affect the locations of the poles.
No, ice covers both poles. The equator between them would melt any connection between the two polar climates.
