Melting is the only threat to the freshwater ice sheet.

Global warming threatens the Antarctic that we know today.
Probably Antarctica...
Approximately 70% of Earth's freshwater is located in ice caps and glaciers, mainly in Antarctica and Greenland. This frozen freshwater is not readily accessible for human use.
Around 68.7% of Earth's freshwater is currently inaccessible, as it is stored in glaciers and ice caps. This inaccessible freshwater is primarily located in Antarctica and Greenland.
Most of the water is found in the ocean.In the ocean (freshwater on Antarctica).
The majority of earth's freshwater (about 70% of it) is stored in glaciers and ice caps, mainly found in Antarctica and Greenland. The rest of earth's freshwater is found in lakes, streams, rivers, etc.

Freshwater ice is formed from moisture, and over mellennia, can form enough ice to calve off an ice sheet and produce icebergs. Humidity in Antarctica is only about five percent, so ice formation in the ice sheet is a lengthy process.
