Anybody bothered??
Just asking!

Actually that's not the whole story Donkeyman.....(Cherry picked as usual)

The Antarctic situation has been quite different, with sea ice extent increasing overall for much of the period since 1978 (7⇓⇓⇓–11). These increases have been far more puzzling than the Arctic sea ice decreases and have led to a variety of suggested explanations, from ties to the ozone hole (12, 13; rejected in refs. 14, 15); to ties to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) (16), the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (17), and/or the Amundsen Sea Low (10, 13, 17); to ties to basal meltwater from the ice shelves (18; rejected in ref. 19). None of these has yet yielded a consensus view of why the long-term Antarctic sea ice increases occurred.


Sometimes you see it.....

But there is no doubt at all OGF that the glacier ice at both ends of
the planet are thawing and and sliding into the oceans at a greatly
increased rate! The sea ice you mention is a completely different
thing only partly related to the glaciers!!And the north pole has
different circumstances controlling it than the south pole as it is
possible to reach the pole by submarine, which means that the pole
itself is actually floating? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
