What role does floating ice play in climate resilience?

Quick fact

Water molecules in ice form a hexagonal crystal structure with more space between them than in the liquid phase, making ice about 9% less dense.

Why this is interesting

Ice floats because it's less dense than liquid water—a defiance of normal physics that makes water the only substance where the solid is lighter than the liquid, and it's why fish survive winter.
