Ice is neither heterogeneous or homogeneous. It is actually a compound.

Here are the definitions of each:

compound - a chemical combination of two or more different elements; can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means and has properties different from those of its component elements

(ex. water)

heterogeneous mixture - one that does not have a uniform composition throughout and in which the individual substances remain distinct

(ex. Pizza)

homogeneous mixture - one that has a uniform composition throughout and always has a single phase; also called a solution

(ex. soda)

A mixture of ice and salt is a homogeneous mixture because ice is a solid and salt is also a solid. A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that contains substances of the same physical properties, which means they must be in the same phase. A heterogeneous mixture, on the other hand, is a mixture that contains substances of different physical properties. An example would be the mixture of milk and sugar.
