    Nice job of cherry picking the area of Antarctica that has over 3000 underwater volcanoes and where the yearly ice berg calving happens.

    Here is the real story for all of Antarctica.

    Antarctica set a record for its coldest March temp ever recorded, not just for the day, but for the entire month. The Vostok Station clocked a bone-chilling -75.3C (-103.54F) on the morning of Friday, March 20, 2020

    Update:

    Your updated information link is two years old. The facts have changed since then.

    It hasn’t, it’s ice is increasing by millions of tons, what you have seen is the fake far left Marxist news showing a frozen river aka a glacier reaching the sea, which is what happens to the water in every river whether it’s frozen or liquid.

    Dirac,

    South Pole ice is actually expanding.  It's expanding at much lower rate in the past six years, but still expanding.

    And that's from NASA, which is your own source.

    Read your article again.  Your report is simply discussing what happened in one month.  It's like saying that the snow melted this year in late March instead of early April.  Seasonal variation like that has nothing to do with climate.

    Again, weather is not climate.
