Although Antarctica is a desert, the driest of all continents, ANtarctica’s great ice cap holds 70 percent of the world’s freshwater licjed up in ice and snow. One the ice reaches the caost, the glaciers and ice shelves calve large icebergs into the sea. These icebergs can be well over a hundred miles in length. Sun and currents erode the icebergs into smaller pieces and fanciful shapes. Antarctica is an immense resevoir of frozen fresh water, out of reach for man’s use.
