About 20,000 years ago, miles of icy glaciers stretched across parts of Europe, Asia, South America and North America, while woolly mammoths, mastodons and saber-toothed cats roamed the land....
Jun 2, 2023 · The answer is a partial yes—with some interesting caveats. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), colloquially called the last ice age, was a period in Earth’s history that occurred roughly 26,000 to 19,000 years ago. This map by cartographer Perrin Remonté offers a snapshot of the Earth from that time, using data of past sea levels and glaciers ...
There is especially strong evidence for eight glacial advances within the last 420,000 years as recorded in the Antarctic ice core record . The last of these, known in popular media as “The Ice Age” but known by geologists as the last glacial maximum, reached its height between 26,500 and 19,000 years ago [ 10 ; 17 ].
Apr 19, 2022 · Between 14,000 and 18,200 years ago, huge glacial lakes on the boundaries of ice sheets burst from their natural dams and rushed over the landscape, scouring the hills and dropping massive stones...

The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), also referred to as the Last Glacial Coldest Period, was the most recent time during the Last Glacial Period where ice sheets were at their greatest extent 26,000 and 20,000 years ago.
