Sort of like p-hacking: If you choose small colonies, all located in a small area known for instable ice conditions, in some years, those colonies have problems. The ice in that area is subject to severe weather conditions, and in some years it breaks up and floats away.
Those problems didn't apply to the rest of Antarctica, but by omitting that information, the article makes good clickbait...
