Tall mountain chains such as those in the Andes and the Himalayas, remain cold enough year round to retain an ice cap or glaciers. As such these are an important permanent source of river water to the low lands.

The other major area is the Antarctic Continent, which has drifted to a location around the South Pole, and this contains the major reserve of ice (and indeed of fresh water) on the Earth.
