Why not try to increase the duration and intensity of polar storms? We've
already got a good start on that with the massive ongoing global effort to
increase the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events.
Seriously, it baffles me that sometimes it seems that the response here to

My thought: thicken the ice by pumping water from under the ice to the top
during the winter, using barge mounted pumps powered by wind generated
electricity. Stronger, more mass, hence slower to melt.

The stress concentration factor of a slit is even higher than for a
round hole. Unless you are in very shallow water there is quite a wide
spread of wave directions.

You would likely use slits perpendicular to the direction of travel of the
wave, not round holes. These would quickly attenuate wave energy, and may
also help build ice by flooding the surface.

Making a round hole in a plate increases the adjacent stress by a factor
of three so this is a really great way to assist breakup.
The single frequency observation is because that part of the wave
spectrum has a phase velocity which coincides with the velocity of the
flexure wave in t
