The last ice age ended a mere 12,500 years ago but began 110,000 years ago. During that time much of the planet was covered by ice and glaciers. This latest article from Amanda on the most recent ice age explores the geographic extent of the last ice age or glaciation and its impact on our planet.

Comments
Most recent original research shows that the ice ages may have ended as recently as 3500 years ago. A capital piece of intelligence has been the seminal work “Earth In Upheaval” by Immanuel Velikovsky. Ridiculed, scorned and censored, Velikovsky seems to get his best support from evidence, not surmise.
A must read. No opinions allowed unless you reed the book, and thank me in advance.
Viva Velikovsky….his work clarifies ice age dating.
