There have been various periods when most of the earth was covered in glaciers, they are called Ice Ages, and the most recent ended about 10,000 years ago.the ice age
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.
Entirely false!
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.
The last glacial period is sometimes colloquially referred to as the 'last ice age'. But the use of 'ice age' is incorrect. Glacials, on the other hand, refer to colder phases within an ice age that separate interglacials. The end of the last glacial period is not the end of the last ice age. The end of the last glacial period was about 10,500 BCE, while the end of the last ice age has not yet come.

The most recent ice age was about 20,000 years ago.
The most recent North American ice age ended about 10,000 years ago. It was called the Wisconsin Glacier or the Wisconsin Episode.

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.
