Hi,


The outer layer of the ice cube meets a temperature that is above zero (c) centigrad (that's the melting / freezing point of ice / water).  At that temperature the stable phase is liquid (in terms of thermodynamics: Lower Entropy) and will simply melt.... That means: The well arranged solid crystal break and transform to the more stable phase ( = liguid).  In fact it is the reverse process of water solidifying to ice.
Best regards,
