Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface.
The continent is covered by ice -- about 98% of the continent in fact.
This means that the continent is the continent; the ice is the ice, and zero percent of the continent is ice, but 100% of the ice is ice.
The answer you want is about 70%.
Ice does not increase land mass.
Two trillion tons of ice roughly translates to about 727,636 square miles of land mass, which is approximately the size of Texas and California combined.
Some say that Antarctica's size doubles in winter when the sea ice surrounding the continent freezes.
