What about dry ice at sea level?
Gryphacus
[See current top response]
Yeah, it got posted at about the same time as mine. Not everything melts...
Under sufficient pressure, carbon dioxide from dry ice would transition to the liquid phase upon melting.

If it doesn't have something like oxygen to burn with? Yes, Paper will melt.

Liquid nitrogen might be exempt... I don't think there's a realistic way to freeze it in the first place.
PlutoIsNotAPlanetLetItGo
Liquid anything is exempt. It is already past its melting point by definition.
RndomGy159
Or at it's equilibrium point (or homeostasis or something like that. it's been a number of years). Where the same amount freezes as melts.
...since most other liquids are easy enough to freeze solid and then re-melt.
Nitrogen, then. You can't get it colder than it's liquid form, so you can't melt it.
Nitrogen freezes below −210 °C, which is quite achievable. It's awesome, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM04U5BO3Ug
In case anyone was wondering, Ice will always melt in straight lines, not curves. That's why ice spheres last longest in beverages.
aaeen
Science bitch!
Dude, please don't make stuff up, this is how urban legends get started and make use less intelligent as a species.
masonmop
Not true. A sphere has, per volume, the smallest possible surface area. This means that less heat can enter and so it melts slower.
On a side note, bubbles are spherical for the same reason. Surface tension pulls in the liquid to minimize surface area.
I don't think that's right at all. A sphere has less surface area, that's why they stay frozen longer.
But if this was just bullshit meant to fool people, braVO, and congrats on top comment.
IPostPicturesOfAnimalsWithHumanMouthParts
The water in this pond was still enough and froze slowly enough to form large regular crystals. Ice cubes are not like that at all.
thats a total lie. the truth probably has more to do with water crystallisation in very specific conditions ~high purity and close to 0 temp
Things tend to form larger crystals when left very still, and left to freeze very slowly.
PineappleEmailer
Then why does the lake I live near have a very large, curvy, ice floe?

Sadly, no, this guy is just making things up about ice.
ThethiefthekingandI
Maybe something to do with its crystal lattice structure. But don't take my word for it. I got a B- in gen. chem. 4 semesters ago.
It's not for reals.
Ice spheres last longest but it's because spheres have the smallest surface area for their volume.
TMYK.
No. The crystal structure of ice in an ice cube is so irregular that this would have no effect on it.
Treebearded
TLYK for believing it
And Spheres last longest because they have the lowest surface area to volume ratio possible.
