It's covered with an ice layer 9 miles thick in places, what you see on Google earth is once massive glacier. Because of "global warming" the polar caps are heating up, since Ice melts in heat, and Antarctica is one giant "ice cube" it melts...
What else can I help you with?
Why don't the icebergs in Antarctica melt?
Actually, they do melt and they move around.
Can ice cream melt in Antarctica?
Yes, ice cream can melt in Antarctica if exposed to high enough temperatures, such as inside a warm building. While the outside temperature is extremely cold in Antarctica, indoor temperatures are typically kept above freezing to prevent water pipes from freezing.
How can an increase in the annual melt season in Antarctica have global effects?
Most of the ice on Antarctica is land ice, so when it melts it raises sea levels, globally, which means all around the world.
Is it illegal to melt Antarctica?
Under the Antarctic Treaty, there is no covenant that addresses melting ice in Antarctica. Please know that the continent will not melt, but the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent is subject to natural melting, which is not illegal.
Is water found around Antarctica fresh water or salt?
Most of the water around Antarctica is salt water from the Southern Ocean. However, there are also sources of freshwater coming from ice melt, snowmelt, and glaciers on the continent and its surrounding islands.

If Antarctica keeps melting how long will it be until Antarctica is completely gone?
Antarctica is a continent, and continents do not melt. The ice sheet that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent, however, can melt. Our crystal ball is in for repairs, so we cannot give you a precise answer to your question, sorry.
How do you get water in antarctica?
Either you melt ice, or you desalinate sea water.
