Creationists claim that ice layers can be laid down more than once a year. So, if we assume the date of the Flood was about 2500 BC, that means that ice layers were laid down at a rate of rate of about 8.8 per year.

However, there are deeper cores. The [EPICA](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Project_for_Ice_Coring_in_Antarctica) core has 740,000 layers. Which means that layers would have to be deposited at a rate of 164.4 per year, or one very 2.2 days. You would think someone would have noticed.
