We have studied the H 2 O ice VII-ice X phase transition at room temperature by performing three quasicontinuous synchrotron time-resolved x-ray-diffraction experiments in a dynamic diamond anvil cell, reaching pressures of 180 GPa. The dense pressure coverage of our volume data allows us to directly derive the bulk modulus for H 2 O over the entire pressure range. Our data document three major changes in compression behavior in the ranges of 35-40, 50-55, and 90-110 GPa, likely corresponding to the formation of pretransition dynamically disordered ice VII and ice X, and static ice X, respectively. Our results confirm that ice X has a very high bulk modulus.
