Well, it may be getting thinner up north, but the ice sheet is getting thicker down south..

Are you sure?

In terms of volume, the amount of ice released in this short time is 720 billion tons

a slightly larger number then the per annum accumulation in your link.

However, an investigation by scientists who studied the shrinkage and expansion of ice using satellite radars has found that rather than losing about 21 billion tons of ice a year, west Antarctica is accumulating nearly 27 billion tons.
