An ice divide is analogue to a water divide the boundary on an ice sheet, ice cap or glacier separating opposing flow directions of ice. Such ice divides are important for geochronology investigations using Ice cores, because such coring is typically made on top of a dome of an ice sheet to avoid interferences caused by horizontal ice movement.
