Summary. The paper presents experimental data on elastic anisotropy of ultrasonic waves in thin‐layered periodic models composed of ice and clay, and how such models were constructed. Experiments were carried out in the temperature range from ‐1° to ‐12°C. The dependence of the anisotropy coefficient on moisture and temperature is analysed. A comparison is given of theoretical and experimental data on elastic‐wave velocities.
