This Ice Never Melts – It Turns Into Gas

This is not normal ice. It is dry ice — solid carbon dioxide. When it touches water it does not melt. It turns directly into gas. The white fog you see is not the carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is invisible. The fog is water vapor in the air that freezes from the extreme cold. The pellet races across the surface until it disappears. This is sublimation. Pure physics looking like magic.
