After having built multiple fortresses in 'easy' areas, I thought I'd take on a challenge and embark on a glacier. Well my problem is, there is no water, only ice. There's also a lack of soil, so for farming, and getting my dwarfs something to drink, I require water.
Is there any way to melt the ice? Do I have to dig down to lava levels and use pumps to to bring the lava to the ice, or is there an easier way?
