When glaciers cover large parts of a continent, they generally reshape the landscape beneath them through processes like erosion and deposition. Once the glaciers retreat, they leave behind features such as valleys, lakes, and moraines. The soil in those areas may become nutrient-rich due to the melting ice, allowing for potential vegetation growth. However, the climate and other environmental factors will also significantly influence the recovery of ecosystems in those regions.

Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface. Ninety-eight percent of it is covered with an ice sheet.
