So is it still 'frozen' (it is ice afterall) even above 0c?

Reminder that Ice takes up more volume than water.

They might be frozen solid though...

I heard there can be issues with ice.

Maybe? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect Apparently the science of water freezing is still not that well understood

Interesting, I guess the water freeze isn’t a problem in those places

Can ice sublimate at these temperatures?

Cool example. Does it ever ice over?

It's cold out there, why would it melt?

Looks like ice is on the rocks...
