Yes, it can. NASA's Grace satellite shows that Antarctica has been losing more than a hundred cubic kilometers (24 cubic miles) of ice each year since 2002. The latest data also shows that the rate that Antarctica is losing ice is accelerating, too.

If global warming continues unstopped then the Antarctic will certainly melt.
