Your answer depends on the time of year when you want to measure the ice.
In winter, the sea ice freezes and almost doubles the size of the Antarctic continent. The edges of the ice are ragged and change, depending on the action of the liquid sea.
The ice sheet holds 100% of Antarctica's . . . ice sheet.
Most of the ice on Antarctica is land ice, so when it melts it raises sea levels, globally, which means all around the world.
Antarctica is the continent around the South Pole. It is the southernmost continent and is covered by ice, making it the coldest and driest continent on Earth.
Approximately 0.32% of Antarctica is not covered in ice, primarily made up of rock outcrops, mountain peaks, and small patches of bare ground. The vast majority of Antarctica is covered by ice, with some areas exceeding 2 miles thick.
i think the rivers of ice in Antarctica are called glaciers.
The ice sheet goes almost all the way to the beach.
Antarctica's ice sheet rests on 98% of the continent. It has been said that the ice is so heavy, ". . . In East Antarctica, the ice sheet rests on a major land mass, but in West Antarctica the bed can extend to more than 2,500 m below sea level." Quoted from the Antarctic Ice Sheet entry in Wikipedia. This is some, not most of the ice sheet. Ice shelves exist mostly below sea level.
an ice shelf is a shelf of ice, which is floating on the water. There are several large ice shelves around Antarctica.
I would say under water since Antarctica is a continent (land) that is mostly covered in ice and snow more so than the few glacial ice sheets that extend out over the water.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude and is located on the continent of Antarctica. All of Antarctica is located within the Antarctic Circle which is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude. Antarctica is the ice-covered landmass at the the far south of the planet (i.e., the south pole).
One hundred percent of the ice found in Antarctica is...ice...in Antarctica.
No, it is actually an ice sheet or ice cap. 98% of Antarctica is buried under ice, in places more than 12,000 feet thick. Antarctica has many glaciers, including those that push into the Southern Ocean along its shores. Even larger structures, the ice shelves, extend into the ocean for many kilometers.
One hundred percent of the ice in Antarctica is ice.
Antarctica is ice-bound in June, because the sea ice freezes around the continent, essentially doubling the continent's size. This makes the continent inaccessible.
yes ice in the antarctica shrink
Antarctica's ice sheet represents about 90% of the earth's ice.
