How many meters thick is the thickest piece of ice?
The thickest piece of ice ever recorded was about 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) thick. This ice sheet is found in Antarctica and is known as the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Where is ice 2km thick?
Ice that is 2km thick can be found in areas such as the Greenland Ice Sheet or the Antarctic Ice Sheet. These ice sheets are massive bodies of ice that cover the land, with the Antarctic Ice Sheet being the thickest, reaching up to 4.8km in some parts.
Is Antarctic Icecap closer to Wilkes Land or Queen Maud Land?
The thickest part of the Antarctic ice sheet is around the South Pole and is has been measured to be in excess of 15,000 feet. Both Wilkes Land and Queen Maud Land may have southern extents into the thickest part of the ice sheet.
The thickest part of the icecap in Antarctica is approximately how many feet deep?
Not all of the ice sheet that covers 98% of the Antarctic continent has been measured. However, at the South Pole, the ice is estimated to be about 9,000 feet thick.
How much is the percent of the ice in the antarctica?
One hundred percent of the ice...in the Antarctic, is ice in the Antarctic.
Which ice is the thickest the ice in Antarctica or the arctic?
At the South Pole, the elevation in excess of 9,000 feet is the thickness of the ice, plus, since the ice is so heavy, it pushes the continent under the pole to below sea level. The sea ice over the Arctic -- the site of the North Pole -- floats on sea water and is not as thick as the ice that covers the Antarctic continent.
Where do Antarctic Ice fish live?
The Antarctic of course.
Is antarctic region is covered by ice?
Ninety-eight percent of the Antarctic continent is covered by an ice sheet.
What is the frozen desert?
The Antarctic Desert is a polar or ice desert.
Is it the Arctic or the Antarctic region that is solid ice?
The arctic is is mostly ice. Antarctica is a continent that is included in the antarctic region.
What are some animals in the Antarctic ice caps?
No animals live permanently on the Antarctic continent or in its polar ice cap.
What is the Antarctic ice cap?
The Antarctic ice sheet covers 98% of the continent, contains about 90% of earth's ice and 70% of the earth's fresh water.
