Not all of the Antarctic ice sheet has been measured for depth. At the South Pole, the depth of the ice is 2,700 meters or 9,000 feet; at Vostok, the depth of the ice is 3,488 meters or 11,444 feet.

The thickness of the continent varies, depending on the location.

What is the thickness of the crust in miles?

The average is 9 miles.The average continental crust thickness is 22 miles thick. The maximum crust thickness is 56 miles underneath the Himalayas, and is 16 miles thick at its thinnest in various places.The average oceanic crust is about 4 miles thick.For the entire Earth then, the average crust thickness is 9 miles.To scale size, the earths crust would be about the thickness of 3 ordinary sheets of paper on a basketball. The thickness of a chicken eggshell would be 16 pieces of paper on a basketball, so the earths crust is 5 times thinner than a typical egg shell. And the crust is only as thick as the egg shell at its maximum thickness underneath Nepal.Sleep tight.
