     Antarctic ice sheet sees temporary mass gain: Study

     ​A new international study shows that Antarctica's ice sheet gained 695 billion metric tonnes of mass between 2021 and 2023, slowing down its long-term ice loss against the backdrop of climate warming.

     Antarctica gained record 695 billion tons of ice after decades of loss

     Between 2021 and 2023, Antarctica experienced a notable gain in ice mass, primarily driven by exceptional snowfall in East Antarctica. This unusual occurrence, influenced by warmer tropical ocean temperatures, caused atmospheric disturbances that transported moisture southward. Although this gain temporarily countered ongoing ice loss in other regions, it does not signify a change in Antarctica's long-term trend of declining ice mass.

Using satellite altimetry data covering 2002 to 2023, they found that the ice sheet lost an average of about 120 gigatonnes (264.5 trillion lbs) of mass per year. This figure is considerably lower than the widely cited figure reached by Nasa, which previously estimated Greenland’s annual loss to be nearly...
