Due to hydrogen bonds, the density of water decreases as it freezes (decrease starts at 4oC). To see a full explanation of why ice floats in water, see the related question below.
when water turns to ice its volume increases whilst its weight stays the same, therefore ice has a lower density than water, and this allows it to float.
Ice is less dense than water, therefore, it is able to float on top of water, which is more dense than ice. Because of this unique property of water, life is able to exist in Antarctica, seeing that organisms would need to be able to utilize water for metabolic functions.

Density.
yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
The potency of ice to be less dense then its liquid form of water gives it special "luck" if i may call it that. It allows for ice to float.
Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.
