How do I counter the frozen floors?

I have just started playing "Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance", and even from the early levels, I am coming upon a lot of frozen floors. When I walk over them, I take damage, and become slowed. They clearly aren't meant to be avoided; some have treasure chests smack bang in the middle of them, others have various other treasures scattered around.

At first, they were not a real problem. I was playing on the easiest level of difficulty, and I could jump over the frozen sections, or run right through them without incurring much of a penalty. However, on higher levels of difficulty, a single tick from the damage buff almost completely wipes out my character.
