abstract = "Chapter 11 studies the Nye model of the subglacial floods known as j{\"o}kulhlaups. First it is shown that the model can explain the observations at Gr{\'i}msv{\"o}tn on the ice cap Vatnaj{\"o}kull in Iceland. Then floods below ice sheets are discussed; in particular the mechanics of a sagging ice cauldron are analysed. The possibility of paleo-floods underneath Antarctica and the Laurentide Ice Sheet is discussed.",
