Scientific paper

Crystal size measurements were performed along a 905-m-long ice core obtained from east central Antarctica (Dome C). The expected increase of crystal size with age is observed in the ice deposited during the Holocene; further down major changes appear to be associated with climatic events and, in particular, with the transition from the last glacial age to present conditions. Physical mechanisms which may explain these data are discussed. A tentative estimation of the age of the deep ice is made from the ice crystal growth law.
