Global warming.
The warming oceans are actually melting the feet of the glaciers where they move down onto the ocean floor. This creates ice shelves resting on the top of the water. These shelves then break off to form icebergs, sometimes as big as the island of Manhattan.
They aren't melting. In fact, the extent of the sea ice there in the last two years has grown to levels not seen in 35 years.

Does antarctica double and shrink in size each year?
Antarctica, the continent, does not change in size, but the ice the surrounds the continent freezes in the winter, essentially doubling the size of the ice that covers 98% of the continent.
