if you look at the SST file you will notice that there is an ice variable in it, so it has the ice fraction data. For example:

There is a sea ice concentration band contained within the SST ancillary file, so this replaces the NSIDC file. Going forward, the program getanc will return the SST file for both the sstfile and icefile parameters and will not return the NSIDC file for the icefile parameter.
