it turns into ice because of the temperature and expands in volume.
the ice will melt
Ice caps are made of fresh water. When this ice melts into the ocean, it contributes to the salinity of the water in that area.
salt water ice and fresh water ice
When dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide, is placed in water, it sublimates, meaning it turns directly from a solid to a gas. This creates a foggy effect as the carbon dioxide gas mixes with the water vapor in the air.

What percentage of earth's fresh water is stored in ice and snow?
Fresh water is found as ice in glaciers, ice caps, and icebergs. These large bodies of ice form when snow accumulates over time and compacts into ice under high pressure, creating a source of fresh water when melted.
70% of the worlds fresh water and 90% of the worlds ice is stored in the Antarctic ice sheet.
Fresh water is either melted ice or desalinated sea water.
Fresh water in frozen glaciers and ice caps accounts for about 69% of the total amount of fresh water on earth.
About 3% of the water on Earth is fresh. Only about .1% of the fresh water is visible on land. About 75% of the fresh water is locked in glaciers and ice caps. Then about 24.9% of the fresh water is underground.
