I believe it does. If I recall correctly, the pressure from the blade

of
an
ice skate is what melts the ice and allows the skate to glide easily

across
the ice.


I don't doubt your recall, Peter, as I'm sure I was taught the same.

I don't buy the physicist's argument. Blades are curved, so there is likely
ten times less surface area on the ice.
