Ice mechanical experiments in uniaxial compression and in simple shear configurations were carried out at 0.2 MPa octahedral shear stress and - 5 °C on ice core samples deposited as snow during the Wisconsin and Holocene periods. Tested samples were selected from ice cores drilled in South Greenland...
