# NASA satellite data shows Antarctica gained ice between 2021 and 2023 due to unusually high snowfall despite ongoing global warming. While this temporary gain reversed some previous losses, experts stress it doesn’t signal a long-term trend. The overall trajectory still shows significant ice loss since 2002, largely driven by glaciers melting into warming oceans. Scientists warn this anomaly will not last, and rising global temperatures will continue to threaten ice stability and contribute to sea level rise.
