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.

What is the most recent ice age ended about?
The most recent ice age ended about 11,700 years ago, leading to the current interglacial period known as the Holocene epoch.
Is it true that the most recent ice age ended about 10000 years ago?
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.
Is the following sentence true or not The most recent ice age ended about one hundred years ago?
No, the most recent ice age actually ended around 11,700 years ago. This was known as the Pleistocene epoch, in which there were periodic glacial cycles.
What are the dates of the last three ice ages?
The last three ice ages occurred during the Pleistocene epoch, with approximate dates as follows: the most recent ice age ended about 11,700 years ago, the one before that ended around 129,000 years ago, and the one prior to that ended approximately 324,000 years ago.
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.

When was The most recent ice age on Earth occurred?
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.
When did the recent ice age ended?
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.

When was the last major retreat of ice?
The most recent North American ice age ended about 10,000 years ago. It was called the Wisconsin Glacier or the Wisconsin Episode.
