In the Genshin Impact in the Dragon Ridge region, there is a "strange ice" that cannot be melted and is difficult to break.

How to break the "strange ice" in Dragonspine Mountain
To break the ice in the Dragonspine region, you must first find a new type of loot/crystal called 
scarlet quartz . After you break it, you will receive a buff when picking up its shard, which will allow you to break the ice. However, the buff only lasts for a limited time, so find Crimson Quartz near the ice you're trying to break so you can get to it in time to smash it!
It makes sense that there is a mechanic revolving around ice breaking in the new Dragonspine region, since the entire mountain is a snowy ice area. If the weather is cold enough to cause your characters to experience a new status effect called Severe frost, definitely cold enough to freeze other objects.
In order to break through the ice covering these objects, you must first find a red crystal called Scarlet Quartz. It's not hard to find, as it's pretty much everywhere in Dragon Ridge. However, remember that this is not actually an item, so it will not appear in your inventory. This is actually a buff when you collect shards of a larger crystal. After receiving the buff, it gives you the ability to break those pesky giant ice crystals, and also allows you to break ice into Statue of the seven in Dragon Ridge. Here is a YouTube video explaining how to do it:
