put it in the freezer ;)

There is no indication that they will stop melting (technically, they really wouldn't stop even if the earth weren't warming). Much of the area of the ice caps has been observed to be accelerating in melt, in fact.
To stop ice from melting, you can reduce its exposure to heat by keeping it in a well-insulated container or adding more ice to maintain its cold temperature. You could also use ice packs or place the ice in a cooler with insulating material to slow down the melting process.
Salt does not stop ice from melting; rather, it lowers the melting point of ice. When salt is added to ice, it disrupts the equilibrium between ice and water, causing the ice to melt at a lower temperature than 0°C. This can be useful for preventing ice from forming on surface areas, but it will ultimately lead to the ice melting more quickly.
It insulates it, keeping the cool in and the heat out.
The Arctic ice is melting because of global warming. The only way to stop it is to stop global warming. That will not be easy, and many countries are not very serious about it, being more concerned with the short term view of the next election. I can relate four ways the Arctic Ice is disintegrating but none on how to Stop It!
To prevent ice cubes from melting quickly, you can use an insulated cooler or container to keep them cold for longer periods. Additionally, you can add salt to the ice to lower its melting point, or use dry ice as a colder alternative. Placing the ice cubes in the freezer until needed can also help delay melting.
