No, the most recent glaciation ended gradually between 10,000 and 6,000 years ago, but this was only one of many glaciations which occurred during the present ice age which started over 2.5 million years ago.

Was there an ice age around 1600BC?
We are in an Ice Age now, although in an inter-glacial period when most ide has retreated for a time. The current Ice Age began more than a million years ago. The most recent glacial period ended about 10000 years ago, so about 8000 BC.

When did the most recent ice age begin and end?
Strictly speaking the most recent Ice Age started about 2.6 million years ago and we are now in an interglacial period,(warm period), during the Ice Age. The last glacial period started 115,000 years ago and finished about 10,000 years ago, though there were a number of warmer periods during that time.

The Quaternary glaciation is still ongoing, beginning 2.6 million years ago. However, the most recent glacial episode ended about 11,700 years ago, at the start of the current Holocene epoch. During the Pleistocene, glaciers reached their maximum prior extent about 15,000 years ago.

When was the most recent ice age in the north America?
The most recent North American maximum glaciation period was about 20,000 years ago, and ended between 11,500 and 14,000 years ago (as marked by increases in sea levels). However, glaciers still exist in cold regions of the continent. *The beginning of the Holocene has a radiometric (carbon-14) date of about 10,000 years ago.

The most recent ice age is the one we live in now. It started about 2.6 million years ago and has had many long periods of glaciation and shorter, warm periods such as the one we are living in. The last glaciation ended 10,000 to 12,000 years ago depending on latitude.
Did the most recent ice age end ten thousand years ago?
Not really. The most recent glaciation ended in the Eurasian and the North American continents about 10,000 - 12,000 years ago, but that was just one of many glaciations during the present ice age which started about 2,6 million years ago. We are now living in a relatively warm interglacial period.

Was the most recent ice age 10000 years ago?
Through the millions of years there have been several Ice Ages on Earth. The last one began to finish earlier than 12,000 years ago, thus around 10,000 BC, so you could generalise and say it was well on the way to finishing before 10,000 BC. Since then there have been a couple of mini-Ice Ages, but not with ice sheets covering half of Europe and America.
