IceBridge Flies 300 Hours of Antarctic Science Flights

Flying low over the Earth’s southernmost continent, Operation IceBridge is wrapping up its eighth consecutive field season of mapping the ice sheet and glaciers of Antarctica, as well as the surrounding sea ice. With more than 300 hours logged in the air over 24 science flights, the mission is considering 2016 one of the most successful seasons yet.

Hi, is it possible to use 1-2 scenes from your video with credit to: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in my documentary?

no mention in this video that Antarctica Ice coverage is the largest in recorded history. And Antarctica is at record low average temperatures in recorded history. Source: NASA

It says everywhere online you guys are looking at larsen c ice shelf waiting for it to break. But i cannot find the pictures of this anywhere? where are the daily pics you guys look at to see if it has broken yet or not? I also cant find grounding line data, and future grounding line change estimates/predictions. These are both things that should be easy to find. but its making me dougt climate change... and ive been a believer for years. Please help me not turn into a skeptic on this subject.

Melt? Antartica Melt? What Melt?
The data has been showing Antarctic Ice growth at record highs every year for the past 5 years... except for the western sheet that has an active volcano underneath it, and even that area is covered with ice.
Are you not the same people who sent a sub under the ice to measure the thickness last year and found a surprise record antarctic ice thickness also?
What gives?

8-years is not enough for a long-term trend.
