Ice Age
/aɪs eɪdʒ/noun
ELI5 Mode🧒
An Ice Age refers to a prolonged period in Earth's history marked by the widespread expansion of ice sheets and glaciers, resulting in a much cooler global climate. These epochs, which can last millions of years and include multiple glacial cycles, have dramatically altered landscapes, driven species adaptations, and even influenced human migration patterns in more recent times.

During the last Ice Age, which peaked around 20,000 years ago, woolly mammoths roamed vast frozen tundras, and humans hunted them using sophisticated tools; amazingly, some well-preserved mammoth remains, complete with fur and flesh, have been found in Siberia's permafrost, offering a direct window into prehistoric life.
