Between 2021 and 2023, the Antarctic Ice Sheet gained mass — for the first time in decades. This anomaly, driven by unusual ...

Here’s how it works. Almost 90% of Antarctica's land is covered in a thick layer of ice — around 1.3 miles (2.2 kilometers) deep, on average — and it's been that way for around 34 million years.

Antarctica experienced a moderate increase in sea ice until 2015, followed by a sharp decline starting in 2016.

In a surprising turn of events, Antarctica saw a net gain of 107.79 gigatons of ice per year between 2021 and 2023.

Antarctica was hemorrhaging ice at an average of 142 gigatons per year, a trend that had been accelerating and pushing sea levels higher. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, came a net gain of about ...
