polar ice caps

Brief Explanations
To determine where most freshwater is located on Earth, we recall Earth's water distribution. Polar ice caps (including glaciers and ice sheets) hold about 68.7% of Earth's freshwater. Groundwater is about 30.1%, lakes about 0.3%, and rivers a very small fraction. So polar ice caps have the most freshwater.
