Currently, glacierscover about 10% of Earth's land. Glaciers covered about 32% of Earth's land during the maximum point of the last ice age.
Around 69% of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers.
Yes, Greenland is covered by an ice sheet, not a valley glacier. The Greenland Ice Sheet is one of the largest ice sheets in the world and covers about 80% of the island's surface. Valley glaciers are smaller glaciers that form in mountain valleys.
Roughly 10% of Earth's land area is covered by ice in the form of glaciers and ice caps. In addition, about 7% of the Earth's surface is covered by ice in the form of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.
The total amount of water on Earth is estimated as about one and a third trillion cubic kilometers (1.36 x 109 km3). Of that, the vast majority ... about 97% ... is in the oceans. If you're asking instead "how much of the Earth's surface is covered by water", it's between two thirds and three quarters: about 71%.
