Never mind that the antartic has been gain ice for years.

I apologize if I'm repeating myself (it's hard to keep up with the discussion).
The warm water is increased precipitation on Antarctica,but the glacial losses each year outpace the snowfall,for a net loss of ice.
The continent has lost enough that its experiencing tectonic uplift.
Also it's a sleeping giant volcanically.Tectonic movements elsewhere are enough to trigger asperity-locked,fault rupture-related eruptions.
