A glacier if it is on land; if it floats in the sea, it's called an iceberg.
Huge ice blankets are called ice sheets. These are large expanses of glacial ice covering more than 50,000 square kilometers of land. The two largest ice sheets on Earth are the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Glacier A continuous mass of ice covering a . . A continuous mass of ice covering a large landmass is known as a mass of perennial ice. (general term). The ice covering Antarctica is called an ice sheet, and it covers 98% of the continent.
The ice sheet holds 100% of Antarctica's . . . ice sheet.
This is the basic definition of an ice sheet. A link can be found below.

A large piece of ice that covers land is called an Ice Sheet.
All of the ice that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent is called an ice sheet. Several glaciers are named, and the ice sheet is named the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

A huge slab of ice is defined as an ice sheet.
An ice sheet is a large mass of glacial ice that covers land, while an iceberg is a large floating mass of ice that has broken off from a glacier or ice shelf and is floating in the ocean. Ice sheets are stationary, while icebergs can drift with ocean currents.
A large sheet of flowing ice is called a glacier. Glaciers form from accumulated snow that compresses into ice over time and can move slowly across land due to gravity. They are found in polar regions and mountainous areas, playing a crucial role in the Earth's climate and hydrology.
Ice rink?
In Canada, at least, the sheet of ice is simply referred to as a rink.
An ice age is when the whole world or large mass of land is covered with a sheet of ice, where as a glacier is a large sheet of ice over a smaller piece of land not causing global problems.
The Antarctic ice sheet covers 98% of the continent, which is as large as USA and Mexico, combined.
