Abstract. We report the detection of absorption features
in the 6–8μm region superimposed on a featureless mid-
infrared continuum in NGC4418. For several of these fea-
tures this is the first detection in an external galaxy. We
compare the absorption spectrum of NGC 4418 to that
of embedded massive protostars and the Galactic centre,
and attribute the absorption features to ice grains and to
hydrogenated amorphous carbon grains. From the depth
of the ice features, the powerful central source responsible
for the mid-infrared emission must be deeply enshrouded.
Since this emission is warm and originates in a compact re-
gion, an AGN must be hiding in the nucleus of NGC 4418.

1. Introduction
The ISO mission has considerably enhanced our knowl-
edge of the mid-IR properties of normal, starburst, Seyfert
and Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). The
spectra of most sources are dominated by ISM emission
features, the most prominent of which are the well-known
PAH emission bands at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, 11.3 and 12.7μm.
The PAH features and the emission lines have been used
qualitatively and quantitatively as diagnostics for the ul
