Follow up question that I fear may shed top much light on how dumb I am… is there land under the polar ice caps? I guess I never thought about it but assumed they were just frozen masses.
The artic (north pole) is just sea ice, so no land.
Antarctic (south pole) has a continent (Antarctica,) so land, but has a very think layer of ice over much it it. Due to the shape, there are also some areas that are just sea lice.
