Ice and Glaciers hold 69% of the Fresh Water around the world.

 Ice and Glaciers hold 69% of the Fresh Water around the world.


According to US Geological Survey Glaciers are the storage of about 69% of the world's freshwater, and if all land ice melted the seas would rise about 230 feet¹ (70 meters) (NSIDC).
and as we are facing global warming ice melting is one of the main cause behind it. During the last ice age (when glaciers covered more land area than today) the sea level was about 400 feet (122 meters) lower than it is today.
