The correct answer is
Antarctica
Antarctica is the southernmost continent, surrounding the South Pole, and is the coldest place on Earth.
About 98 percent of its surface is permanently covered by a thick ice sheet, and it holds the largest reserve of fresh water on the planet in frozen form.
North America, South America and Africa have varied climates and are not permanently ice-covered continents.
Hence, the continent known for being extremely cold and mostly covered in ice is Antarctica.
