Take 10 doesn't give you a +10 bonus, it just lets you pretend you rolled a 10. It's mainly for automatically succeeding at simple tasks. (Like running up stairs without tripping - easy normally, but if you're being chased by a horror movie psycho, you need to roll because this is EXACTLY the time that being in a panic would make you fall.)
So your "roll" was 24. Feel free to read the Perception 20 block above with that. In general, outside of combat if 10+your skill beats a number, you can read the blocks needing that number. If you want to try to hit a higher skill target, you need to roll.

It's hard to make out details of the door through the ice (and of course you can't feel around with a foot thick block of ice in the way), but you don't see any obvious traps or mechanisms (even concealed in the ring of horrible gargoyles surrounding it). It looks like a perfectly ordinary door that can be opened by shoving on it - if you could get to it.
While peering through the ice, you do notice a thin network of cracks running through it. It should be easier to chip or burn your way through the ice by targetting them.

They look perfectly natural, the result of portions of the ice expanding and contracting as the temperature changes. +2 to the next attack roll or skill check anyone uses to try and get through the ice, as long as Balth is helping.
