Why ice cubes have steam?

Ice cubes can appear to have steam when they are taken out of a freezer and exposed to warmer air. The temperature difference causes moisture in the air to condense on the surface of the ice, creating a layer of tiny water droplets that resemble steam. Additionally, if the ice is warmer than the surrounding air, it can cause a small amount of sublimation, where some of the ice transitions directly from solid to vapor, contributing to the effect.
