Spin ice attracts great interest as a state in which emergent fractionalized excitations and magnetic-field induced topological forms of order may occur [1]. We report vibrating coil magnetometry down to mK temperatures [2,3] of Dy2Ti2O7, addressing the evidence of putative magnetisation avalanches in the spin-frozen state which depend sensitively in number and size on the magnetic field ramp rate, sample shape and quality. These avalanches have been interpreted in terms of magnetic monopole dynamics [4].
