Glaciers don't 'hit' anything, they are formed by thousands of years of snowfall that doesn't melt and thus compacts and stays in place on high, cold mountains, moving very slowly downwards. There are glaciers on some of the mountains in the Andes.

Who disscovers Denmark?
Denmark wasn't discovered in the same way as perhaps America. There is no danish equivalent to Christopher Colombus. Denmark was probably discovered some 10'000 years ago when the glaciers of the last ice age melted away and the land could be inhabited. Tribes of hunters probably wandered into Denmark in search of prey, and humans have lived there ever since. There might have been humans in Denmark before the ice age, but they would have been driven out by the glaciers.
Was the ice age the coldest time ever?
No. The glaciation of the Quaternary ice age was small compared to what happened at other times. There is evidence of a possible "snowball earth" period during the Proterozoic Eon in which all of Earth may have been covered in glaciers.
