Hello to you all,
This link might be fruitful. I would be interested to see what those who post on this site make of this information from the Climate News Network.

I guess that snowfall over the whole continent may offset ice melt.
Also ice not in contact with the ocean never get warm enough to melt
and that is the vast majority.

BTW how can anything be "West" in Antarctica.
The whole coast is the North Coast.

Earlier this year a huge 22k slab broke off the Antarctic shelf. What is not realized is that Antarctica is in a sense a desert in relation to the amount of snow falling.
The area where the glaciers are retreating is definitely called West Antarctica, Bazz.
