Slow melting ice in fire?...

Asked by Arbornaut (2597points) January 5th, 2011

Recently on a drinking/fishing trip, I chucked some ice from the esky onto the coals of the fire. I was surprised when it took a long time to melt away, it seemed to just sit there and steam a bit. I have seen the same sort of ice melt a lot faster in warm water plenty of times. It seemed odd. Any one got any idea why this is?
