What if one tries to break the ice? It should become water then.
Earthquakes occur in other planets including Mars, don't they?
Then how can ice stay as ice on Mars? It should become water, as the earthquakes may be breaking the ice.
 
There is plenty of dry ice on mars as well... if the temperature does increase it'll just turn into gas.

Ice doesn't turn to water if it breaks, it turns to water if it's heated. There are few heat sources on Mars except for meteorite impacts, since all the volcanoes seem to be dead.

There are probably few Earthquakes on Mars, since it has no plate tectonics.

Isn't sun the source of heat ?
I find this strange that ice on Mars does not melt.
