These are techically called "Polar Ice Caps". Look them up.

I dont want to devolve the discussion over a term my friend but in this case the terms are important.
Ice Cap means the fresh water ice over greenland and the antarctica
the Ice that covers the Arctic Sea is not Ice Cap.
the Ice Caps are not melting. if they were we would have rising sea levels.
The ice over the arctic sea (Arctic Sea Ice) did melt drastically in 2007. however it has recorvered dramatically since then.
either way your argument made more sense in 2007. pardon the pun but it no longer holds water....
