Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding Ice-cap climate? 1. In Köppen climate classification, ice-cap climate is denoted by the letters EF. 2. It is the most severe climate of the earth, where the average monthly temperature never rises above 0 degree Celsius. 3. This climate is found in Pir Panjal and Greater Himalayas.

Statements 1 and 2 are correct. In the Köppen climate classification, the Ice-cap climate is designated by the symbol EF, where E denotes polar climates and F indicates that the warmest monthly mean temperature remains below 0°C — making it the most severe climate on Earth (typically found in Antarctica and interior Greenland). Statement 3 is incorrect: the Pir Panjal and Greater Himalayas do experience cold mountain climates and some glaciation, but they are not classified as EF ice-cap climate; rather they have highland (H) or tundra-like (ET) climates with seasonal temperature variation, and the warmest month does rise above 0°C at many elevations.
