Abstract
Ice streams are major drainage routes, through which much of the ice in Antarctica flows from the continent. They flow at speeds of up to two orders of magnitude greater that the rest of the ice sheet and are believed to rest on beds of soft, water-saturated sediments. As sliding and sediment
