Well, when ice freezes, it expands. If the outside ring on ice were to freeze first, then when the inner core froze, I could see it being forced to push up instead of out.

I'm guessing those are pretty light rocks, though. If they were heavy at all, the expansion would fracture the outside ring, and no lift would happen at all.
