BBC News - Melt may explain Antarctica's sea ice expansion: "Climate change is expanding Antarctica's sea ice, according to a scientific study in the journal Nature Geoscience.
The paradoxical phenomenon is thought to be caused by relatively cold plumes of fresh water derived from melting beneath the Antarctic ice shelves.
This melt water has a relatively low density, so it accumulates in the top layer of the ocean."

I love how I found--on the same day no less-- one article claiming arctic ice is melting, but not due to anthropogenic global warming, and a second article claiming antarctic ice is actually expanding due to "climate change."
