We calculate from ab initio molecular dynamics the Raman scattering of high-pressure ice. To this effect we apply a new method based on the Berry phase theory of polarization. Our results are in agreement with recent and difficult experiments and are compatible with a picture in which ice VII is a proton-disordered system and in ice X the hydrogen bond is symmetric.
