Ice sheet
An ice sheet , also known as a continental glacier [1] , is a mass of glacier ice that covers surrounding terrain and is greater than 50,000 km 2 (19,000 sq mi). [2] The only current ice sheets are in Antarctica and Greenland ; during the last glacial period at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the Laurentide ice sheet covered much of North America , the Weichselian ice sheet covered northern Europe and the Patagonian Ice Sheet covered southern South America .
