Because water is less dense as ice than as liquid water, the ice will always float on top of liquid water. For example, in the winter time when a lake freezes the ice will cover the top but the water underneath will remain liquid. This allows aquatic organisms to survive over the winter in places where lakes and ponds freeze because they can continue to live in the water.
