Water freezes at 32F at one standard atmosphere. Increase the pressure and the freezing point goes down. Water at the bottom of the ocean can be significantly colder than 32.

Interestingly, there is a point along the temp/pressure scale where all three forms can exist simultaneously: solid ice, liquid water and water vapor (steam).
