     I am inthralled with water and its posibilites. If you froze water under 
water at a depth of about 330' in a large upsidedown bowl with air in it, will 
the ice expand by ten times or will it the ice just expand the same ratio as 
it would on the surface(just engough to crack pavement)? i was wonder this 
because if you could make a huge ice telescope in the ocean, would the ice on 
the bottom of the telescope keep cracking.
