Today I made some ice in the freezer of the fridge in the pottery shop and came back to find this ice crystal sticking out of the ice tray. It seems very curious to me that something like this would happen. How could this crystal grow an inch out of the water? I did have the ice tray full of water and that might have done something with the surface tension of the water so that this thing would grow.

very curious indeed! One of those marvels of the universe!
John, I believe that you have in your possession a rare Male ice cube who has discovered that he is surrounded by trays of hot (or should that be cold?) female cubes. Be careful, I hear they multiply like rabbits...
My theory would be freezing on the bottom such that the shifting partial cube which was attempting to float popped up.
