It's got a lot. It holds the global seed vault. And a lot of polar bears. It was also featured in that movie The Golden Compass.

Relevant (and good) book:

I've read a ton of historical fiction and this book blew my mind: http://www.amazon.com/We-Die-Alone-Escape-Endurance/dp/1558219730
The reason for the 25 years is that the ice cap reflects lots of solar radiation back into space. Water is much darker and absorbs it instead. When the ice cap disappears you're suddenly absorbing much more heat.

1947 cold snap was suppose to be bad. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Irelands-Arctic-Siege-Freeze-1947/dp/0717154483
If you want to read a shorter book about a real-life badass, not a manufactured one like Chuck Norris or that Dos Equis guy, check out We Die Alone

Incredible book
It is available at the library, but not for checkout. I put it on my list. Meanwhile, look for South, Shackleton's own account of the expedition. And look at Endurance. Shackleton had a photographer and through all of their trouble they kept the film. Those are photos!
