The Antarctic ice sheet is considered a single ice sheet, with several named shelves at the continent's beaches.
At the South Pole, the sheet is nearly two miles thick.
The Antarctic ice sheet holds about 70% of the earth's store of fresh water and about 90% of the earth's store of ice.
a high plateau with frigid, dry conditions
Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called continental glaciers or ice caps. Examples of continental glaciers are in Antarctica and Greenland The ice sheets that form in these two locations are up to 3500 meters thick. thank you a lot
Greenland is an island and Antarctica is a continent, both covered with ice sheets.
valley glaciers are constrained by their surroundings. And ice sheets dont Ice sheets are large
Katabatic
Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered with an ice sheet.
The ice sheets of west Antarctica actually cover a series of islands, rather like Hawaii. So if the ice sheets melted, the islands would be visible in the ocean.

They are called ice sheets and/or continental glaciers if they cover more than 50,000 square kilometers of land area.continental

There is no food web in Antarctica's ice sheets, cap or glaciers.
Greenland is an island and Antarctica is a continent, both covered with ice sheets.
