Ice-six (Ice VI), above and immediately below. Note that in these structural diagrams the hydrogen-bonding is ordered whereas in reality it is random (obeying the 'ice rules': two hydrogen atoms near each oxygen, one hydrogen atom on each O····O bond).
Ice-fifteen (Ice XV) This structure (below) does have the ordered protons shown.
This structure (below) has separated the two frameworks to clarify the structure.
These animations use Jmol: an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D. Use the mouse for control.
