In the phase diagram on Wikipedia, which is more precise, shows a negative slope on the transition frozen-liquid, unlike the sketched version on the second video, which, I guess, is for all other elements. On such a negative slope, if the temperature increases the transition will continue to occur if the pressure decreases.

Isn't this negative slope well in accordance with the fact that water expands when freezing?
