ice melts slower in higher density right?

if you have MORE density then the ice will melt slower right?

Faster in higher density, because density=heat + fire, and if you put more density into ice, then more heat and fire will destroy the ice molecules and turn them into air.

Ice is less dense than liquid water. So ice floats on water. Ice melts pretty fast, because the surface of ice is exposed to warm air (assuming that the air is indeed warmer than 32F, 0C). If ice were more dense than water, then it would sink. Then if the air above were warmer, then the air would be trying to warm the water, the ice at the bottom would try to chill the water. The ice would melt at the end of all things.

lower density-more air-more spaces to thaw out quicker
