The icecap is melting, again.

One attempt to understand the D-O events is the ‘polar seesaw’ theory, which says that when one pole is getting colder, the other is getting warmer, perhaps with some delay between the two oscillations.

We hear a constant hyping of the new low arctic ice record and the
ignoring of the simultaneous increase of Antarctic ice which appears
heading towards a near new record high.
To these so called scientists and the media, the world began in 1979
when satellite tracking began, The famous picture of the submarine
Skate surfacing at the North Pole in August 1959 shows this has
happened before.

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, …, all point to a radical change in climatic conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. -Washington Post, November 2, 1922.
And before:
“A considerable change of climate inexplicable at present to us must have taken place in the Circumpolar Regions, by which the severity of the cold that has for centuries past enclosed the seas in the high northern latitudes in an impenetrable barrier of ice has been, during the last two years, greatly abated.”
“2000 square leagues of ice with which the Greenland Seas between the latitudes of 74̊ and 80̊N have been hitherto covered, has in the last two years entirely disappeared.” -Royal Society, London. Nov. 20, 1817. Minutes of Council, Vol. 8. pp.149-153.

We've only had satellite data on the icecaps since 1979, I suggest a few more decades checking before we get all excited.
