How does ice sublimate in the freezer?

It is my understanding that when ice cubes “shrink” in the freezer over time, it is due to sublimation. How does sublimation work exactly? What causes the change in state?

Temperature is an average. Some molecules of ice are higher than average, boiling. And those boil away.
