Most scientists believe that the most recent Ice Age ended in 10,000 B.C. There are a few modern scientists that belief we are currently seeing the end of the last Ice Age. Their argument is based on the fact that glaciers still exist in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Since, there is evidence the Antarctic was once green and is now a glacier covered wasteland, that the earth's current warming trend is part of this global recovery. {See creation science websites for more details on this new theory.}

It's likely we are still in the Ice Age: the date above, which should be BP for geological references, not BC (that's for history) being that of the nominal end of the last glaciation.
An Ice Age is a sequence lasting a few million years of cool and warm phases, and we are presently in a warm phase which may have a way to go before it starts to reverse to a glacial phase. The Earth's climate overall is still significantly cooler, with consequent lower sea-level, than it has been for much of geological time.
The last ice age ended 100 000 years ago.
No. The last ice age was triggered by fluctuations in Earth's orbit.
The last ice age, known as the Great Ice Age or the Pleistocene Epoch, lasted from about 2.6 million years ago to around 11,700 years ago. So, it has been approximately 11,700 years since the last ice age ended.
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 Great Lakes were created by glaciers in the last ice age.

Many geologists consider what you call the "last ice age" to be the last glacial of the present Ice Age, with the ice retreat starting only about 10-12ka. There was no mass extinction. A good many species did migrate or disappear altogther as the ice retreated, but in no way was it a mass extinction.

During the last ice age, much of North America was covered in thick sheets of ice.
The last ice age, known as the Last Glacial Maximum, occurred approximately 20,000 years ago and lasted until around 11,700 years ago. This period was characterized by colder temperatures and extensive ice sheets covering much of the northern hemisphere.

Ice ages last for some tens of millions of years with intervals of about 150 million years between them. The term is used more loosely to identify the last time that ice sheets covered much of Europe and North America.I think the ice age lasted until it melted!the iceage took about 100.000 years.
