I think nowhere. The fact that water expands when it freezes is the same for any location.
Ordinary Ice (Ice I) is only one of seven different types. Under extremes of pressure and temperature ice has different crystal lattices some of which are heavier than water.
On earth (as the question specifies) there is only one place where Ice IV is known to occur -- at the bottom of a thick glacier.

Does salt water expand when it freezes?
NO
At what temperature does water expand?
when it is in the form of ice. When water freezes it expands. If a rock has a crack in it and water goes in the crack and freezes, it will expand and melt over and over. eventually it can split the rock.
Why is water considered an unusual molecule?
The molecular bonds cause water to expand when it freezes.
Why does a can of soda expand in the freezer?
There is water in soda. Water is unique because unlike most substances, it expands when it freezes instead of condensing.
Do most solids expand when cooled?
Generally speaking, substances have the least amount of surface area as a solid, as they are heated they form a liquid and expand, as this is heated it forms a gas and expands more. *Assuming pressure is constant **Water is the only substance to expand as it freezes
Does water expand?
When it freezes.
What happens to the volume of a water balloon when it freezes?
As the water freezes, it will expand.
Does salt water expand when it freezes?
NO
When water freezes it expands?
Yes, it will expand.
What happens if water freezes in a crack of a rock?
The crack would expand because the water in the rock, as it freezes, expands.
Why does water expand by 10 percent when it freezes?
Its very unusual for a substance to expand when it freezes, water is just odd that way. Its just a property of water, its moleucles expand in the area they take up and take up more space.
At what temperature does water expand?
when it is in the form of ice. When water freezes it expands. If a rock has a crack in it and water goes in the crack and freezes, it will expand and melt over and over. eventually it can split the rock.
Why is water considered an unusual molecule?
The molecular bonds cause water to expand when it freezes.
What type of bonds cause water to expand when it freezes?
Hydrogen bonds
How do rocks change when water in them freezes?
As the water freezes in the cracks of rocks,the cracks expand. The process repeats itself and the rock eventually breaks.
Does 20 percent of water expand as it freezes?
It is not that 20 per cent of the water expands - all of the water expands.
What is the name of the law of chemistry or physics that makes water expand when it freezes?
the law of anomalous expansion of water.
