An ice cap is ice over land. There is no ice cap in the Arctic.

What is a ice cap?
An ice cap is a covering of ice over a large area that is smaller than an ice sheet. It is typically found in polar regions or high mountainous areas and is characterized by being dome-shaped and relatively thin compared to ice sheets.
