Phase change to meltwater is straightforward. Sublimation to vapor would require a low pressure.
Quote:
Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state,[1] without passing through the liquid state.[2] Sublimation is an endothermic process that occurs at temperatures and pressures below a substance's triple point in its phase diagram, which corresponds to the lowest pressure at which the substance can exist as a liquid.
