Antarctica is Gaining Ice

Science news, from last month:
Antarctica has gained ice in recent years, despite increasing average global temperatures and climate change, a new study finds. ...

The ice sheet gained mass from 2021 to 2023 at an average rate of about 119 billion tons (108 metric tons) per year. Four glaciers in eastern Antarctica also flipped from accelerated ice loss to significant mass gain.

Sounds like a lot to me, but I guess it is a big continent.
