3D convection simulations tailored to specific structure of high-pressure ice mantle of large icy moons. Melting is introduced, melt extraction is assumed instantaneous. HP mantle found globally cold but small areas always at/close to the melting point in hot upwellings. Heat flux from rock core accomodated by melting at rock core interface and melt extraction throughout the HP ice mantle.
