Which continent has land completely covered with ice?
Antarctica, the southernmost continent and site of the South Pole, is a virtually uninhabited, ice-covered landmass. Most cruises to the continent visit the Antarctic Peninsula, which stretches toward South America. It’s known for the Lemaire Channel and Paradise Harbor, striking, iceberg-flanked passageways, and Port Lockroy, a former British research station turned museum. The peninsula’s isolated terrain also shelters rich wildlife, including many penguins.

17% felt the answer was the "Continent of Arctic". The Arctic is NOT a continent; it is a polar region. It cannot be considered a continent because it has no land mass under the ice.

Doesn't every continent have land that is covered with ice somewhere on it? The correct answer was easy to figure out but the question could have been worded better.

Fact the Antarctica ice pack is gaining more ice than it is losing. Has been since 1992.

The glaciers are melting all over the world very fast and it is a matter of concern.

Only 5 species or types of penguins live on Antarctica.
The other 12 species or types live in the Southern Hemisphere like the Galapagos, New Zealand, Australia, Africa.

Technically it’s none of them. The Antarctica might be covered by a lot of ice, but historically it has never been completely covered with ice. There is too much volcanic activity for it to be completely covered in ice.
