Il y a 4 jours · ice age, any geologic period during which thick ice sheets cover vast areas of land. Such periods of large-scale glaciation may last several million years and drastically reshape surface features of entire continents. A number of major ice ages have occurred throughout Earth history.

Il y a 5 jours · Little Ice Age (LIA), climate interval that occurred from the early 14th century through the mid-19th century, when mountain glaciers expanded at several locations, including the European Alps, New Zealand, Alaska, and the southern Andes, and mean annual temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere.

Il y a 5 jours · Worldwide, the most recent glacial period, or ice age, culminated about 21,000 years ago in what is often called the Last Glacial Maximum. During this time, continental ice sheets extended well into the middle latitude regions of Europe and North America, reaching as far south as present-day London and New York City.
Il y a 4 jours · The oldest such soil was continuously covered by ice for around 2.7 million years, while another, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) deep ice core from the summit has revealed ice that is around ~1,000,000 years old.
Il y a 6 jours · The glaciers on a major Alaskan ice field are melting twice as fast than recorded over a decade ago, with researchers saying the rate of ice loss is "incredibly worrying."
Il y a 4 jours · Tropical glaciers in the Andes are now losing ice up to 10 times faster than their long-term average, according to a new study. Authors mapped changes in more than 5500 glaciers across the Andes since the Little Ice Age (1,400 to 1,850 CE) in order to place today’s losses into a longer term context.
