Re: Ice Age

A geologist who was taking my astronomy class
last semester brought in an article published in
one of his professional journals. I was astounded
to read that ice is now thought to have covered
everything of latitude greater than plus or minus
20 degrees during the height of the last ice age.
Amazing! The earth would have appeared to be
a narrow band (of green/blue?) surmounted by
two dazzling near-hemispheres of ice.

When did the last ice age peak? Start? End? _Has_ it ended?

How far south did permanent ice extend at its peak?
