Fun Fact Friday would have worked a whole lot better, but it’s Thursday and I wanted to do this today 🤓
Do you know when the last ice age ended?
Thun Thact: it hasn’t–we’re still in it!
An ice age is a period of colder-than-usual global temperatures and bigger-than-usual glaciers and ice sheets. Ice ages don’t bring unrelenting cold. Instead, relatively warm periods intervene, so ice ages are a mix of advancing glaciers (glacials) and retreating glaciers (interglacials). Though relatively warm, interglacials are still part of a glacial epoch.

Who knew right? We’re in the interglacial period right now, but at some point in history–possibly several points–Earth was covered in ice with no open ocean aside from a few pockets around the equator.
Thee you nexth Thursday!
