We have measured the lattice volume of ice VIII in different pressure-temperature pathways and found isothermal compression at low-temperature conditions makes the volume larger. Ice VIII has become its high-pressure phase with the molar volume of 6.45 cm^3 at 10 K where the pressure can be estimated as 60.4 GPa based on the third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation with parameters determined in this study (K_0= 32.4 GPa, K'_0= 3.7, and V_0= 11.9 cm^3). The present results indicate that this high-pressure state is paraelectric with tetragonal symmetry.
