- Fenced at least five major ice ages throughout its 4.5-billion-year history. An “ice age” refers to a long interval (millions of years) during which global temperatures are cold enough for permanent ice sheets to exist.




- Major Ice Ages in Earth’s History
- Huronian Ice Age (2.4–2.1 billion years ago): The oldest-known ice age, potentially the first “Snowball Earth,” where the entire planet froze.
- Cryogenian Ice Age (720–630 million years ago): Likely the most severe; ice sheets may have reached the equator.
- Andean-Saharan Ice Age (460–420 million years ago): Occurred during the Late Ordovician and Silurian periods, coinciding with a mass extinction.
- Kazoo Ice Age (360–260 million years ago): Named after glacial tills in South Africa, this period saw extensive ice cover across the ancient supercontinent Gondwanaland.
- Quaternary Ice Age (2.6 million years ago–present): Technically, Earth is currently in an ice age because ice sheets still exist in Antarctica and Greenland.
- Glacial and Interglacial Periods
- Within an ice age, the climate fluctuates between “glacial” (colder periods of ice advance) and “interglacial” (warmer periods of ice retreat).
- Last Glacial Period: Colloquially known as “The Ice Age,” it began approximately 115,000 years ago and ended 11,700 years ago.
- Last Glacial Maximum (LGM): The peak of the previous cold period, occurring roughly 26,000 to 20,000 years ago.
- Little Ice Age (c. 1300–1850 AD): A more recent, smaller cooling event that primarily affected the Northern Hemisphere.

- Bcc. 2600000 BCE—c. 12000 BCE
- The Pleistocene epoch, ranging from c. 2.6 million years ago until c. 12,000 years ago. It is characterized by repeated cycles of glacial and interglacial periods.
- c. 26500 BCE—c. 19000 BCE
- Last Glacial Maximum—the time during which the ice sheets reached peak growth within the most recent glacial period.
- c. 11700 BCE
- End of the most recent glacial episode within the current Quaternary Ice Age. 1837 CE
