How is water said to be denser than ice, if it actually EXPANDS from 4°C to 0°C, thereby increasing its volume and hence, decreasing its density?

I am referring to the Anomalous Expansion of Water.

You might have to review this question....

Explanation:

It is a fact that when you pop an ice-cube into water it floats.. Agreed? And also ice-bergs float in the Arctic and Antarctic oceans,,,,and of course here the berg's buoyancy should be greater than that in pure water, why?

We would have to examine the data to establish the density of ice under several scenarios. Of course at #4# #""^@C#, the ice is in a metastable condition under #1*atm#...and should slowly thaw....
