Note that in these structural diagrams the hydrogen-bonding is ordered whereas in reality it is random in ice-three (obeying the 'ice rules': two hydrogen atoms near each oxygen, one hydrogen atom on each O····O bond).
These animations use Jmol: an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D. Use the mouse for control.
