The temperature and depth dependence of the shear viscosity (eta) of the quasi-liquid layer (QLL) of water on ice-I-h crystals was determined using simulations of the TIP4P/Ice model. The crystals display either the basal {0001} or prismatic {10 (1) over bar0} facets, and we find that the QLL viscosity depends on the presented facet, the distance from the solid/liquid interface, and the undercooling temperature. Structural order parameters provide two distinct estimates of the QLL widths, which are found to range from 6.0 to 7.8 angstrom, and depend on the facet and undercooling temperature. Above 260 K, the viscosity of the vapor-adjacent water layer is significantly less viscous than the solid-adjacent layer and is also lower than the viscosity of liquid water.
