This quantity constitutes the complaints of the IUTAM Symposium on 'Scaling legislation in Ice Mechanics and Ice Dynamics', held in Fairbanks, Alaska from thirteenth to sixteenth of June 2000. Ice mechanics offers with basically intact ice: during this self-discipline, descriptions of the movement and deformation of Arctic/ Antarctic and river/lake ice demand the improvement of bodily dependent constitutive and fracture types over a tremendous diversity in scale: 0.01 m - 10 km. Ice dynamics, however, bargains with the move of damaged ice: descriptions of an mixture of ice floes demand actual modeling of momentum move throughout the sea/ice process, back over a massive diversity in scale: 1 km (floe scale) - 500 km (basin scale). For ice mechanics, the emphasis on lab-scale (0.01 - half m) study con­ trasts with purposes on the scale of order 1 km (ice-structure interplay, icebreaking); many very important upscaling questions stay to be explored.
