Excerpt: A non-polar ice cap is an ice mass that covers less than 50,000 km of land area (usually a highland area) in the mid latitudes or tropics of a planet or natural satellite. Non-polar ice caps lie outside the arctic and antarctic circles, i.e., the polar regions. A polar ice cap is a high latitude region of a planet or natural satellite that is covered in ice. There are no requirements with respect to size or composition for a body of ice to be termed a polar ice cap, nor any geological requirement for it to be over land; only that it must be a body of solid phase matter in the polar region. This causes the term 'polar ice cap' to be somewhat of...
