==Types of ice==
 
Everyday ice and snow is Ice-Ih, or [[hexagonal ice]]. Subjected to higher pressures and varying temperatures, ice can form in roughly a dozen different phases. The most recently discovered form is [[Ice XII]] (read ice-twelve), which was created in [[1996]] after being predicted by computer modelling.
 
Note: In addition to these real variants of ice, a fictional "ice-nine" featured in [[Kurt Vonnegut]]'s novel [[Cat's Cradle]]. Real Ice-IX does not have the properties of Vonnegut's fictional ice-nine.
