Why does Antarctica double in size each winter?

The continent itself is land, and land does not generally change in size -- except for volcanic lands. The sea ice that freezes around the continent freezes with and connects to the ice sheet that covers 98% of Antarctica during winter, and effectively the size of this ice mass, then, doubles the size of the ice sheet that covers the continent.
