Ice floats because it is less dense than water. When water freezes, it creates a crystal lattice that occupies more volume than the water did. Because it is less dense, ice is displaced by water (and floats on top).

Ice floats on water because it is less dense than water. When an object is less dense then a liquid it will float. If it is more dense it will sink.
