Glacial Age.
The geological term for an ice age is a "glacial period" or "glaciation." These are times in Earth's history when ice sheets and glaciers advanced over large portions of the planet's surface, leading to colder temperatures and lower sea levels.
When capitalized, "Ice Age" refers to a specific geological period marked by the presence of polar ice sheets covering a significant portion of Earth's surface. It is characterized by colder global temperatures and the expansion of glaciers.
The most recent Ice Age

No, I'm not and neither are you. People are not entitled to their own individual geological eras.
ice age: continental drift
The current ice age is known as the Quaternary Ice Age and is ongoing. We are currently in an interglacial period within this ice age, which began around 2.6 million years ago. It is difficult to predict when the current ice age will end as it is a natural geological process that operates on a much larger time scale than human activities.
Ice Age The Melt-Down
Ice age 2, the meltdown
The ice age ended around 11,700 years ago, during the Quaternary period. This marked the beginning of the Holocene epoch, which is the current geological epoch we are in.
False. The Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages were both prehistoric periods but were not specifically part of the Ice Age. The Ice Age refers to a broader geological period characterized by multiple ice ages and interglacial periods.
A Saale is one of the glaciations of Northern Europe, a geological event during the most recent major Ice Age.
