Feynman moment.
Holy shit something just clicked for me!
"Ice is slippery, because water expands when it freezes" -->so when compressed it...
Granted it's not really something I thought of on that level being from the equator.
Compression of any kind creates heat. In the case of ice, if the surface temperature is warm enough, the heat caused by compression is enough to melt it. Not all of it, but a thin layer at the top so you slip and fall on your ass.
It doesn't create heat, it compresses it.
Tbf, any compression heats. Even with heat pipes.
