About Ice Cap
An ice cap is a mass of ice that covers less than 50,000 km² of land area. Larger ice masses covering more than 50,000 km² are termed ice sheets. Ice caps are not constrained by topographical features. By contrast, ice masses of similar size that are constrained by topographical features are known as ice fields.
