The Great Ice Age occurred during the Pleistocene Epoch, which began about two million years ago and lasted until 11,000 years ago.

we are still in an ice age because, all the ice bergs and ice sheets have not melted. we are coming out of an ice age slowly but surely. but its faster than we thought because of all the greenhouse effect that is going on in the world today. (global warming is making the ice melt quicker).
It was called the ice age because Europe and Asia were connected by the ice. Get it ice age.
sun ended the ice age
Well for one thing, it didn't. The definition of Ice Age is a period of extensive glaciation with brief interglacials between the points of highest glaciation. By that definition we're are still in the middle of an ice age, a warm bit of one, but still in one. If we weren't in an Ice Age there would be no glacials, whatsoever.
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.
Changes in the earth's rotation can lead to an ice age. Scientists believe the earth's orbit and tilt caused the last ice age and may cause another one in the near future.
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 last ice age ended 100 000 years ago.

No, I don't think so! Not yet!
The end of the last ice age, also known as a glacial period, was around 12,000 years ago. It began around 10,500 BCE.

it was the end of the last ice age.
The ice age began at the end of the Jurassic period, a theory of why the dinosaurs became extinct. <33
The present ice age has not ended, it started about 2.58 million years ago and we are living in an interglacial, (warm), period.
The ice age hasn't ended yet. It only started about 2.6 million years ago.
The ice age ended around 8000 BC. This should give you an idea of the time
