unthawed

unthawed
a) thawed, not frozen

For a time we struggled on, most intent upon evading the morasses; and staring at every patch of unthawed ice as on a treasure trove, until we reached a rocky knoll, on which we turned and looked downwards, from the bleak uninteresting moor to the dingy, featureless shores.

b) which has not been thawed: still frozen

The sun burns your face as you smoke the after-breakfast pipe, but it leaves the snow unthawed.
