Implode means to collapse inwardly, but explode means blow up, or outwards. Exactly
Hydrogen explodes.
The "plode" part means to clap, from Latin, and the ex- part means "out of" so the original meaning was to drive out by clapping, at the theatre (so perhaps clapping had an opposite function to the present!). Implode is a later word which is a "back formation" as im- suggests inwards movement as opposed to ex- which is outwards.
We don't explode, or implode, due to air pressure because the pressure inside our bodies balances the pressure outside our bodies. This is the normal state. At sea level and standard conditions, air pressure is about 14.7 pounds per square inch. In the non-normal state, such as decreasing or increasing the outside air pressure, our bodies attempt to compensate. Within limits, this is successful, such as going up and down in an elevator or in an airplane. In extreme conditions, such as very deep water, we can implode. In the opposite case, such as in outer space, we can explode.
If the ice melts, then because of the density of water, it will implode (Explode INWARD) because of the less particles in the liquid.

As you move upward the external pressure decreases. Thus all would try to "explode" ... but your examples would probably not (they would resist the pressure drop).
