loses
When ice melts it gains heat. The environment, however, loses heat. So what does heat have to do with temperature? Often they vary in the same direction; temperature has been likened to the average kinetic energy of the substance.
Melting typically ( e,g,, for ice-water) clamps the temperature at a constant value, but heat flows into the substance that melts.
