Added "in bulk" to first paragraph. We have Ice VII inclusions in diamonds.
Jan 15, 2019 at 1:41 comment added Oscar Lanzi The best option for high pressure ice is _not _ Europa. Diamond-borne Ice VII inclusions aside, we should be looking at large moons with really thick ice layers. Based on size and (low) density I would go with Ganymede, Callisto, Titan, and Triton.
Mar 10, 2018 at 5:17 comment added uhoh There is a new ice in town! ICE-VII trapped inside diamond is in the news. Would you like to add that to your answer? Otherwise I'll add a new answer in a few days.
Sep 29, 2016 at 10:17 comment added uhoh I have the book chapter and it does a great job of summarizing. It's copyrighted 2013 so fairly current as well. I'll have fun reading. Thanks!
Sep 29, 2016 at 5:29 comment added Justin Eiler Excellent, @uhoh, and thank you! I'll try to remember to credit images in the future. :)

Sep 29, 2016 at 1:38 comment added uhoh @JustinEiler ok I made the adjustment to the text - giving credit to the image and sourcing the statement about the ice per your comment. I'll take a look at the article today to confirm it.

Adding @Innovine's calculations of the maximum pressure under Europa's ice.
Sep 28, 2016 at 18:13 comment added Justin Eiler @Innovine, that's excellent--I don't have the skills to calculate that, so thank you for adding that.
Sep 28, 2016 at 18:01 comment added Innovine I calculate a pressure of 7Mpa at the bottom of the ice for Europa, nowhere near high enough for this to be relevant..
Sep 28, 2016 at 17:50 comment added Justin Eiler @uhoh, yes, the article by Mastrapa is my primary source. The presence of Ice XI is mentioned in the Wikipedia page for Hydra, but no reference is given, so I would not consider it to be a good source.

Sep 28, 2016 at 17:06 comment added uhoh Very nice answer, wow thank you for digging in! Is the Mastrapa article your primary source for the statement that "... ice XI is present on the surface of the Moon, and on Hydra" as well as the explanation about the infrared differences? That's fine if it is either way can you clarify that? I just want to make sure the support for the statement is something traceable.
Sep 28, 2016 at 16:15 comment added Justin Eiler I've added that to the answer--the difference is how the ice absorbs infrared light.
