Re: [Phys-l] global temperatures

A ran across an account written by an antarctic ice researcher a few years
ago.  I do not have the reference, but the jist of it was that although
the warmer ocean is melting ice along the coasts, that the overall
thickness had increased over those previously mentioned decades.  I think
there was also a mention of structures from the 1960s that are now buried
under tens of feet of ice.

I could not find the article I was referring to, but I did find this
interested historical overview an Antarctica...
