How the unusual properties of water make it possible for life to exisst in the cold freezing temperatures of the arctic poles?

Water is unusual because it expands as it freezes and ice is less dense then water. This allows ice to float on water. This makes life on this planet possible because water freezes from the top of a lake down and not the other way around. This means that water life can survive in the winter. Also, because ice floats and doesn't sink, the land isn't flooded by the displaced water.
