1. ice cap
2. Ice capAn ice cap is an ice mass that covers less than 50 000 km² of land area (usually covering a highland area). Masses of ice covering more than 50 000 km² are termed an ice sheet. Ice caps are not constrained by topographical features (i.e. , they will lie over the top of mountains) but their dome is usually centred on the highest point of a massif. Ice flows away from this high point towards the ice cap's periphery. Ice caps have significant effects on the geomorphology of the area they occupy.
