Why does a bigger span of ice make it more resistant to temperature changes?

Lower surface area and higher albedo.

Why does albedo increase the larger the shell is? I would have thought it'd only depend on whether the surface was in the form of snow or ice.

And wouldn't a larger shell expose a bigger surface area?
