HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Continental glaciers are continuous masses of ice that are much larger than alpine glaciers. Small continental glaciers are called ice fields. Big continental glaciers are called ice sheets. Greenland and Antarctica are almost entirely covered with ice sheets that are up to 3500 m (11 500 ft) thick.

Answer :-
=) Continental glacier masses stream over huge unconfined land regions. They cover the scene and just the most astounding mountain crests jab out through the ice surface.
Huge mainland icy masses are called as ice fields, though the littler ones are called as ice fields.
All together for an ice sheet to frame, the snow must stay cold enough that it doesn't soften or doesn't totally dissolve before the following layer develops.
