Generally, you can always find ice at higher altitudes, even in temperate climates.

There is always ice on every continent on earth. Notably, 98% of the Antarctic continent is covered with an ice sheet, as is Greenland, with about 80% of its surface covered with an ice sheet.

What is the best explanation for ice caps existing at the earths poles and some mountains located near the earths equator have snow-covered peaks?

Ice caps at the Earth's poles are formed due to the consistently low temperatures and lack of direct sunlight, allowing snow and ice to accumulate over time. In contrast, some mountains near the equator have snow-covered peaks because their high altitudes create cooler temperatures, even in tropical regions. The elevation can lead to conditions conducive to snowfall and ice formation, despite the warmer overall climate at lower elevations. Thus, the combination of latitude and altitude influences the presence of ice and snow in these areas.
