Abstract. Microstructures provide key insights into understanding the mechanical behavior of ice. Crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) develops during plastic deformation as ice deforms dominantly by dislocation glide on the basal plane, modified and often intensified by dynamic recrystallization. CPO patterns in fine-grained ice have been relatively well characterized and understood in experiments and nature, whereas CPO patterns in “warm” (T&gt;-10∘C), coarse-grained, natural ice remai
