Antarctica sea ice increasing
Updated: 14:06, Thursday April 23, 2009
Experts say sea ice around Antarctica has been increasing over the past decade.
The landmark British study has found that contrary to popular belief, sea ice around Antarctica is increasing at a rate of 100 thousand square kilometres a decade.
Drilling has also shown that the ice is the most dense its been for 10 years.
But the team are quick to point out that the findings don't disprove climate change, in fact, quite the opposite.
They say changes to the ozone layer strengthened surface winds, leading to more ice production.
