Re: Ice Age

And the shoreline would have been at approximately the current
'continental shelf'?

(Whatever shoreline wasn't glaciated) Were the OCEANS covered this
far south?! or 'just' land?)

A geologist who was taking my astronomy class
last semester brought in an article published in

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.
