Have you ever noticed that ice always floats on water instead of sinking? This everyday phenomenon is not just interesting—it’s a unique property of water that plays an important role in nature and in our daily lives.

When water freezes, its molecules arrange themselves into a special structure. Unlike most substances that become denser when they solidify, water expands as it turns into ice. This expansion creates tiny spaces between the molecules, making ice less dense than liquid water. Because it is lighter, ice floats on the surface.

This simple scientific property has a big impact on the environment. When lakes, rivers, and oceans freeze, the ice layer stays on top, acting as insulation. This helps protect aquatic life below by keeping the water beneath from freezing completely, allowing ecosystems to survive even in cold climates.

Ice floating on water also helps regulate temperature. As ice melts, it absorbs heat from the surroundings, naturally cooling the water. This is why a few ice cubes can quickly chill your drink without instantly melting away.
