During the peak of the last ice age, approximately 30% of Earth's surface was covered by glaciers. These glaciers were part of massive ice sheets that extended over North America, Europe, and Asia.
During the most recent ice age, glaciers covered about 30% of the Earth's land area.
The previous answer was incorrect. NOW the Earth's surface is covered with ice, but during the most recent ice age, NEARLY 30% of the Earth was covered by ice!I'm a little bold
30%
About 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water, with the majority of it being in the form of saltwater in the oceans. Only around 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and the majority of that is frozen in glaciers and ice caps.

During the most recent ice age, glaciers covered about 30% of the Earth's land area.
it is 28% of the world was covered by glaciers. 28% of the earth was covered by Glaciers during the Ice Age.
about 69% of Earths fresh water is in glaciers.
Glaciers
No. Only a fairly small percentage of Earth's land is covered by glaciers. However, about 75% of the surface is covered by water.

Currently, glacierscover about 10% of Earth's land. Glaciers covered about 32% of Earth's land during the maximum point of the last ice age.
During the quaternary period, the Ice Age took place. It was a time of dramatic glacial development and at the time, glaciers covered around 30 percent of the Earth. Some areas like North America and parts of Europe were covered in grasslands.
