Of course she is surrounded by blocks of ice. A rectangular igloo and nowhere near airtight. Did you notice they starts at 6 or 7 PM?

Right, and I highly doubt there was 24-hour surveillance. Plenty of time to slip out for a midnight snack (and to relieve herself). Even without that, there was plenty of water available -- in solid form.

When the ice turns yellow, it's time to let the lady go.
