The results of experiments on the plastic deformation of hollow snow-ice cylinders, closed at one end, as a function of circumferential stress and temperature are discussed. Data are graphed on deformation as a function of time for a snow-ice cylinder under 7.03 and 14.06 kg/cm2 hydrostatic pressure at −4.5 °C, deformation as a function of hydrostatic pressure from 2.11 to 7.03 kg/cm2, and deformation as a function of temperature at a constant pressure of 10.55 kg/cm2. The natural strain rate of closure at constant circumferential stress and temperature was a constant, which varied with circumferential stress as a sine function and was "exponentially dependent on temperature, with an activation energy of 14.1 kcal/mole at an average circumferential stress of 3.1 kg/cm2. The experiments agree well with an earlier interpretation of the plastic flow process representing flow between grain boundaries.
