A reminder for context: it's not summer yet in Antarctica. Summer doesn't start until December. It's still supposed to be cold.
instead of adding ice this winter, they lost ice. during antarctic winter.
That is not correct. The Antarctic gained far less ice, but it did gain.

hey thanks for the details, I misread the ice shelf dropping off as total losses. it's still the worst winter on record. https://www.reuters.com/world/no-quick-fix-reverse-antarctic-sea-ice-loss-warming-intensifies-scientists-2023-08-08/
