Abstract In order to test the theory of glacier flow over bedrock undulations presented by S. J. Johnsen, K. Rasmussen, and N.Reeh in the accompanying abstract, data from the E.G.I.G. and the Dye-3 flow lines on the Greenland ice sheet have been analysed. The data comprise surface profiles measured by conventional techniques, and ice thicknesses and depths of internal isochronic layers obtained by the Technical University of Denmark by means of radio echo-soundings.
