A less severe cold period or ice age is shown during the Jurassic-Cretaceous (150 Ma). There have been five or six major ice ages in the history of Earth over the past 3 billion years. The Late Cenozoic Ice Age began 34 million years ago, its latest phase being the Quaternary glaciation, in progress since 2.58 million years ago.
An artist's impression of the last glacial period at glacial maximum [4]. The LGP is often colloquially referred to as the "last ice age", though the term ice age is not strictly defined, and on a longer geological perspective, the last few million years could be termed a single ice age given the continual presence of ice sheets near both poles.

This area was covered by an ice field during the last ice age, and preliminary data from Hall’s research suggest the ice had collapsed back to its center by around 18,000 years ago.
The Pleistocene (/ ˈ p l aɪ s t ə ˌ s iː n,-s t oʊ-/ PLY-stə-seen, -stoh-; [4] [5] referred to colloquially as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch that lasted from c. 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.
1650, not the start of the Little Ice Age, but the start of the coldest years midway through, i.e., the First Climatic Minimum [clarification needed] The Little Ice Age ended in the latter half of the 19th century or in the early 20th century. [21] [22] [23] The 6th report of the IPCC describes the coldest period in the last millennium as: [24]
Reindeer evolved during the last ice age to withstand temperatures as low as minus 94°F (minus 70° C. Yes, you read that right. This is an amazing feat, accomplished only by a select group of ...
The mummified cub is believed to be between 35,000 and 37,000 years old, from the Ice Age.
