Antarctica's ice paradox has yet another puzzling layer. Not only is the amount of sea ice increasing each year, but an underwater robot now shows the ice is also much thicker than was previously thought, a new study reports.
The discovery adds to the ongoing mystery of Antarctica's expanding sea ice. According to climate models, the region's sea ice should be shrinking each year because of global warming. Instead, satellite observations show the ice is expanding, and the continent's sea ice has set new records for the past three winters. At the same time, Antarctica's ice sheet (the glacial ice on land) is melting and retreating.
The findings were published today (Nov. 24) in the journal Nature Geoscience.
This likely due to rising air temperatures due to climate change as in the other source I cited.
Further review of more literature on the subject concludes that the sentence at the beginning of the second paragraph [italics] is an msn editorial remark and not from the original research article, and other articles as;

Why should people be puzzled? The theory of anthropogenic global warming has not gained empirical ground for many years now.
