Grain growth experiments were carried out using cylindrical ice samples grown from pure water and from water solutions of NaCl, NH4OH and HF. Solute concentrations were varied from 10-1 M to 10-4 M and annealing was performed within the range -2°C to -16°C. The results obtained show that the grain growth rate is increased when solutes are added to ice. This behaviour may be related to changes in grain boundary structure and mobility
