The string/wire puts pressure on ice, and under pressure ice melts, so wire can go in. But now the pressure is being applied deeper and previously melted ice again solidifies. Hence, as the wire goes ahead melting the ice with pressure the left behind melted ice solidifies, and the wire passes through without splitting the ice.
