This is the published version, also available here: http://dx.doi.org/10.3189/002214390793701372. Ice flow along the 20 km long strain network up-stream of the Dye 3 bore hole in Greenland is studied in detail. By solving the force—balance equations and using selected flow laws, stresses and strain-...
