Everything is a substance. Radioactive chemical smog is a substance.

To answer the intent, however, ice is formed when water gets cold enough to form crystals. It is unusual in that this solid form attains greater volume than it's liquid form as a result of that crystalline matrix.

This was used extensively in the ancient quarying of rock. Water was poured into cracks in the stone in freezing weather, and the water froze and expanded it would force the crack apart and split the stone.

In a solution in which it cannot separate, this crystal formation does not occur, at least not correctly. More often, the pure water will freeze at a different temperature than anything mixed with it, therefore separating itself and floating in the remaining liquid.

This was a primitive way of distiling alcohol in cold climates. Apple cider, etc. was left outside overnight and the ice was removed in the morning, leaving behind the concentrated drink.

Why ice is not a mixture?

Ice is a pure substance because it is composed of only one type of molecule - water. Unlike mixtures which are made up of different substances, ice is made of a repeating pattern of water molecules arranged in a solid structure.
