It only expands because as the water freezes it does so as lots of tiny
ice crystals

It's not quite that simple. Water at 1c is actually smaller than it is a 4c,
the most dense state.
That is the answer to the question "what is the temperature of of the water at
the bottom of a pond that is frozen on top". (in case you get that on your
physics test)
