Numerous field and laboratory observations indicate how multiple factors influence the dynamicsof polar ice masses. These include the large-scale flow pattern, stress- magnitude, temperatureand ice microstructure. Data obtained from polar ice cores, and their corresponding boreholes,provides a valua...
