Abstract: In this text, we provide a fully rigorous, complete and self-contained proof of E.H.Lieb's statement that (topological) entropy of square ice (or six vertex model, XXZ spin chain for anisotropy parameter

D e l t a = 1 / 2

) is equal to

f r a c 32 l o g_{2} (4 / 3)

. For this purpose, we gather and expose in full detail various arguments dispersed in the literature on the subject, and complete several of them that were left partial.
