For anyone wondering, the D in D2O stands for Deuterium.
Deuterium is basically a Hydrogen atom, but with 1 neutron in its nucleus instead of 0. This makes the total weight higher (just double, actually. Weight of hydrogen is 1 amu due to just 1 proton. Weight of Deuterium is 2 amu due to 1 proton and 1 neutron) but doesn't increase volume, hence increasing the density.
These kinds of atoms where they're of the same element (same number of protons and electrons) but differ by the number of neutrons and hence differ by Atomic weight are called Isotopes.
Hydrogen has 3 Isotopes: Protium (the normal one), Deuterium (with 1 neutron), and Tritium (with 2 neutrons).

For those wondering, the water is made using an isotope of hydrogen called Deuterium.
Atoms are made of positive heavy protons in the core of the atom, and tiny negative electrons that orbit the core. There are also neutral neutrons in the core that are a little heavier than protons. Typically for lighter elements, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons is equal.ย
Oxygen for example most often has 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons, for a total weight of 16 (electrons don't really contribute to the weight). Hydrogen often doesn't have any Neutrons and is just one proton and one electron. So when you make H2O using two hydrogen atoms and an Oxygen atom, the weight of that molecule is 16+1+1 = 18.ย
Deuterium is a hydrogen atom that also has a neutron for a total weight of 2, so when you make D2O, you get 16+2+2 = 20, or about 11% heavier. Now adding neutrons doesn't really make the atom any bigger, just heavier, which is why the ice sinks.

It sounds like a bad joke: "How do you make a heavy ice cube? Use heavy water"
