Ice cores at the south pole and Greenland have a maximum depth of 10-14,000 feet. The aircraft that crash-landed in Greenland in 1942 and excavated in 1990 were under 263 feet of ice after only 48 years. This indicates all of the ice could have accumulated in 4400 years.

Which completely ignores the fact that even "ice" is considered a "fluid" in the same sense glass is. The weight of the plane alone would have caused to to sink. Especially once more snow started accumulating on top of it.
Sixty years? I had a fish house sink a FOOT into ice in a couple of months. My only suprise was that it hadn't sunk further.
