Abstract
Strain-rate and surface velocity measurements were made on a valley glacier. The measured strain-rates were used to calculate the stress condition and velocity distribution in the glacier. The measured velocity is in reasonable agreement with that calculated from Nye’s plasticity solution.Keywords
