It is reported that despite frequent headlines about global warming, sea melting and sea level rise, climate analysts point out that in winter in the southern hemisphere, the total mass of ice floes in Antarctic waters is actually increasing. In fact, in late September, satellite data showed that the sea ice area around Antarctica reached the largest extent ever. The Antarctic sea ice area is 7.51 million square miles, or about 19.44 million square kilometers, and is showing a slow growth trend. At an average annual rate of about 1%.
