Extent of Pleistocene Epoch Glaciation |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| During the Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary Ice Age, glaciers (represented on map in white) covered much of the Earth’s northern hemisphere. Ice Ages consist of glacial periods and warmer interglacial periods. Although the Pleistocene, the Earth’s most recent glacial event, ended 10,000 years ago, many scientists believe that the Earth remains in an interglacial state of the Quaternary Ice Age. | ||||||
