Why does water at the north and south poles tend to sink to the sea floor?

Interestingly put, this question. It makes one feel that water in other parts of the world does not sink to the bottom, so there must be a gap above the sea floor! Maybe you mean why does the ice float to the top? Because it's lighter, that's why.
