Reply	MikeAdams#367 says: Assuming you mean at temperatures above zero, then the answer is no. A look at the phase diagram for water shows that increasing pressure slightly reduces the freezing point. http://www.standnes.no/chemix/english/phase-diagram-water.htm  (1 vote) average rating:5 Tags: water, pressure.

Reply	Jon-Richfield says: Possibly it could be pressed solid at pressures sufficient to overcome its chemical bonds, such as the presures at the centre of Jupiter (and possibly not, not while it still amounts to water, anyway!) but then if you removed the pressure it would revert to water unless the pressure was something like you might get inside a supernova, and fused the oxygen and hydrogen to say, silicon. The short answer is no.  (2 votes) average rating:4 Tags: water, pressure.
