Uniaxial compression creep tests were performed on artificial and natural polycrystalline ices at temperatures near –7°C. The grain-size range investigated was from 1 to 10 mm. Contrary to previous results, the permanent creep-rate was not found to increase with crystal size. Only the transient creep appears to be sensitive to variations in crystal size.
