The Ice in Antarctica Has Increased – Nya Dagbladet

Antarctica has long been associated with melting ice – but between 2021 and 2023, new research shows an unexpected growth. Using satellite data from NASA, researchers from Tongji University in China have measured the ice masses in Antarctica between 2002 and 2023. They mainly focused on four glacier areas in the East Antarctic – Denman, Moscow, Totten and Vincennes Bay – which are located in the Wilkes Land–Queen Mary Land area. During the perio…

Although Antarctic ice loss has been very pronounced in recent decades, an increase in the continent's mass has been observed in recent years. Recent research shows why this has occurred and provides answers to questions about whether it will be permanent or merely temporary. Although Antarctic ice mass has suffered severe losses in volume in recent decades, a significant improvement has been observed in recent years. Scientists associate this e…
