Ninety-eight percent of the continent -- which is about the size of USA and Mexico combined -- is covered by an ice sheet.
Because of its geography, glaciers -- defined as ice that moves under its own weight -- form in the sheet, and are calved off to form ice tongues. Eventually, these break off and become icebergs.
