Ice III is a form of solid matter that consists of tetragonal crystalline ice formed by cooling water to 250 K (about -10 °C) at 300 MPa. It is the least dense of the high-pressure water phases, with a density of 1160 kg/m3 (at 350 MPa).[1] It has a very high relative permittivity at 117 and has a specific gravity of 1.16 with respect to water. The proton-ordered form of ice III is ice IX.[2]

Ordinary water ice is known as ice Ih (in the Bridgman nomenclature). Different types of ice, from Ice II to Ice XIX, have been created in the laboratory at different temperatures and pressures.
