Abstract: This paper presents an existence theory for solitary waves at the interface between a thin ice sheet (modelled using the Cosserat theory of hyperelastic shells) and an ideal fluid (of finite depth and in irrotational motion) for sufficiently large values of a dimensionless parameter $gamma$. We establish the existence of a minimiser of the wave energy $mathcalE$ subject to the constraint $mathcalI=2mu$, where $mathcalI$ is the horizontal impulse and $0<mull1$, and show that the solitary waves detected by our variational method converge (after an appropriate rescaling) to solutions of he nonlinear Schr"{o}dinger equation with cubic focussing nonlinearity as $mudownarrow0$.
