Mechanical anisotropy of ice core samples has been observed in various uniaxial compression tests. The c-axis orientation distribution is the primary influence on the mechanical behavior of ice cores. A strong single-maximum fabric pattern is observed in the deep parts of the ice sheet. In this regi...
