I didn't see the part you were talking about.

I like to see some of these "most studies".

Here's ref:
"Continent wide there is little evidence for increased melting of the land-based ice sheet. This is because around 99% of Antarctica is so cold and high that temperatures cannot rise above freezing. The average surface temperature of the Antarctic continent is around -37°C and at an "average site" there is no melting on any day of the year. By contrast on the warmest coast of the Antarctic Peninsula average temperatures are around - 5°C and there may be two months in the year with temperatures above freezing. Here the warming climate has led to enhanced melting, and some floating ice shelves have disintegrated because of this."

So you have 1% of Antarctic which is vaguely warm enough that if temperatures were to rise, you might get some ice melt. In other words the small "warm" area averages -5 C unlike 99% of the place which a DEEP FREEZE at average of -37 C.
So if you on the warmest part of the Antarctic, in the middle of Summer. The Sun has been in the sky for DAYS and the sun is the highest it's going to get in the sky. And what fucking Joy the temperature in the shade [how temperature is always taken] is above freezing. Time to break out the beach gear!!! Yeah!

Now, you would need to somewhat close to Beach- because the ocean is going to be what's providing you with delicious warmth- because it's a friggin oven compared to interior temperature [get away from the ocean by going inland a several miles and you back in the deep freezer.]

Ocean water unlike ice can get warm on the surface. I've swan in ocean water which averages around 45 F [yes in the summer] the top layer [less than an inch] can be remarkably warmer [somewhere around 70 F]. [Not that it helps- you still freeze your nuts off.]
So it wouldn't surprise one bit if the ocean water at the Antarctic could be at freezing except at the top surface where in summertime with days and days of sunlight it could quite toasty.
Here is LA, it can be 70 F at the beach while a few miles inland it can 90 F [ocean keeps you cool]. In Antarctic it's going to be the opposite- but of course you need open ocean and I suppose you can get that on some regions on the Peninsula.
