Between July 2021 and April 2023, Antarctica gained about 695 billion tonnes of ice-sheet mass—the largest 22-month increase in the satellite-gravity record—and a Nature study traces the exceptional East Antarctic snowfall to persistent warming in the tropical western Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean, thousands of kilometres away.

A Nature study links an exceptional Antarctic mass gain to tropical warmth that redirected moisture towards East Antarctica, temporarily interrupting a longer-term decline.
