According to the GISS, the ice caps in the north are close to normal averages. Yes, they are larger then they used to be and no, they are not yet back to normal.

The Southern Hemisphere is different. It is still growing and has for decades.

The Arctic Ice Pack is shrinking. Each year it freezes in the winter and melts in the summer. See the attached video of the ice getting smaller every year. See the years along the bottom as the video plays from 1987 to 2013.
