Antarctica does have bedrock with glaciers on it, but they are not the same glaciers. I think there have been four ice ages throughout geologic time, and Antarctica has moved around an awful lot through geologic time. I'm considering the last ice age to be one ice age, even though there were two or more times that the glaciers advanced.

yes, but global warming is shrinking them and more forest and peremsoil is being exposed.
