The last ice age, often referred to as the Last Glacial Period, began approximately 115,000 years ago and concluded around 11,700 years ago. This period is part of the larger Quaternary glaciation that started about 2.58 million years ago and continues to the present day. The Last Glacial Maximum, which marks the peak of the last ice age when ice sheets were at their most extensive, occurred between 26,000 and 20,000 years ago. Image source: University of Cambridge
