When ice at 0°C melts to form water at 0°C, the heat energy supplied goes into breaking the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules in the ice. This process is called latent heat of fusion, and it does not raise the temperature of the substance; instead, it changes the state from solid to liquid. The temperature remains constant at 0°C until all the ice has melted.
Water
Water melts at 0 degrees Celsius, not 20 degrees. Water has a hexagonal close-packed structure when it is in solid form.
Blue ice melts through a process called melting, where it absorbs heat energy from its surroundings. As the temperature of the blue ice increases, the ice molecules gain enough energy to break apart and transition from a solid to a liquid form. This transition continues until all of the blue ice has melted into liquid water.

Water gains energy as it evaporates to form steam. The energy is used to break the bonds between water molecules and convert them from liquid to gas.
When ice melts to form water, energy is absorbed in the form of heat. This process requires energy to break the bonds holding the ice molecules together, causing them to transition from a solid to a liquid state.
Water
When water molecules melt, energy is absorbed. When water molecules evaporate, energy is also absorbed. When water molecules condense energy is released. When water molecules freeze energy is also released.
The ice needs to absorb heat energy in order to melt. This energy is stored in the water as a type of potential energy (it requires a force, and therefore energy, to separate the water molecules). When the water freezes, this potential energy is returned once again.
The process of ice melting involves breaking the intermolecular bonds between water molecules, which requires energy input, typically in the form of heat. This added energy causes the particles of solid ice to gain kinetic energy and break away from their fixed positions, transitioning into liquid water.

Added. Heat is a form of energy. When heat is added to something frozen, it melts.
Water melts at 0 degrees Celsius, not 20 degrees. Water has a hexagonal close-packed structure when it is in solid form.
When ice melts the latent heat of fusion has to be supplied from the environment, which explains why ice takes a long time to melt, even when the surroundings are above the freezing point. The specific latent heat of fusion for water is 330,000 Joules/kg, or if you prefer this in BTU, 142 BTU/lb.
When ice melts, energy is added to the system in the form of heat. The heat causes the solid ice to absorb energy and transition into liquid water. This process is endothermic because it requires heat input to break the intermolecular forces holding the ice molecules together.
When a cube of ice melts to form water, it undergoes a physical change. This is because the substance remains water in both states, but changes from a solid form (ice) to a liquid form (water) due to a change in temperature.
The arrangement of water molecules start having their chemical bonds break as ice melts. Hydrogen bonds constantly form and break constantly moving everything out of position.
