Laser Pointers and Ice

I thought the fastest way to get a real answer to this question, including the follow-on ramifications, was to post here and let the resident science guys get to work.



Suppose you wanted to look at a small opening sealed with ice--would using a laser pointer cause melting? Are some colors more likely than others to cause this? What distance(s) are likely to cause melting?



I lack the financial resources to just buy a cartload of laser pointers in various strengths and colors and experiment away. And I know that lasers are subject to variable performance due to humidity and temperature--is this from the equipment, or the scattering of light in the air under different air conditions?





Thanks in advance, Miss_Kitt
