Not on Earth they aren't.
Ice coverage in the Arctic is the lowest on record.
While there is an increase in sea ice cover in Antarctica, the vast majority of ice down there is on land and that is getting less, so there is a large net loss.
The one you really need to worry about - Greenland - is losing its glaciers at an alarming rate. If Greenland loses all of its ice, the sea level will be 24 feet higher than it is now.
