At Very Low Temperature Ice Crystallizes in?

Ice crystallizes in a hexagonal lattice.

What happens to ice at low temperature?

It is referred to as the freezing point when temperatures decrease below 32°F (0°C), causing water to change state from a liquid to a solid (ice), as happened with the cup of crushed ice immersed in the very cold salt/ice mixture.

What is the structure of ice at low temperature?

From our daily life we are familiar with hexagonal ice, but at very low temperature ice can exist in a different structure––that of cubic ice.
