Last year, Antarctica's sea ice had a record high-growth year, thanks to high winds in the area. This year, sea ice growth returned to the measured average rate, while still increasing, Meier's team announced on Oct. 15.
Globally, however, sea ice levels are decreasing, particularly in the Arctic, which will lead to sea-level rise over time.

“Overall, temperatures are increasing,” Meier explained. “In the Antarctic, you have temperature increasing at least in some areas, but the Antarctic is overall a much colder place than the Arctic. [Ice growth is] much more driven by winds and ocean currents. … As temperatures continue to warm, the Antarctic sea ice will start to decrease [as well].”
