Actually, an ice cube would *float* on a really dense liquid. Less dense objects float on more dense liquids.
I nominate molten metals - take your pick which one you like. Molten lead works quite nicely. Of course, an ice cube wouldn't last very long in it.

an ice cube will only sink in a liquid which is less dense that itself. This is why oil floats on water. Now a very dense liquid is mercury.

an icecube will only sink in a liquid that is less dense or equal to water and not denser(it will float).

Glass is a liquid all right.
Appart from quicksilver (mercury) there is also caesium which is liquid and VERY dense.
The densest liquid would be Gallium though its melting point lies at about 30°C (a warm summer day) It is about 4 times as dense than mercury.

Surely an icecube will NOT sink in any liquid denser than water?
