The name Antarctica is well-deserved as the "Icy Continent" or "White Continent" because of the massive ice sheet that covers the entire continent. The ice sheet is thick, measuring an average of 1.6 to 2 kilometers thick, and it contains about 90% of the ice on the planet. Although it appears as if the continent is always frozen, it is actually the largest desert on Earth because of the low precipitation levels.
