A procedure is described for testing cored ice specimens under uniaxial tension. The procedure incorporates an end-capping system described by Cole and others (1985), two carpeted Synthane end caps, and extensometers mounted directly on the ice. Use of the procedure has resulted in a successful test rate of 75%
