  Antarctica Gained 112 Billion Tonnes of Ice Between 1992 and 2001, Shows NASA Study

  An increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

• Satellite Shows Antarctic Ice Loss Has Doubled

  Antarctica is now losing about 160 billion tonnes of ice a year to the ocean - twice as much as when the continent was last surveyed, scientists say.
