The current ice age is known as the Quaternary Ice Age and is ongoing. We are currently in an interglacial period within this ice age, which began around 2.6 million years ago. It is difficult to predict when the current ice age will end as it is a natural geological process that operates on a much larger time scale than human activities.
What else can I help you with?
The most recent ice age ended how many years ago?
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 year did the ice age end?
The present ice age has not ended, it started about 2.58 million years ago and we are living in an interglacial, (warm), period.
How quickly did the ice age end?
The most recent ice age, known as the Pleistocene Ice Age, ended around 11,700 years ago. This transition from the ice age to the current interglacial period, known as the Holocene, occurred gradually over several thousand years. The shift was marked by rising global temperatures and melting ice sheets.
What time period is the end of the last ice age?
The end of the last ice age occurred approximately 11,700 years ago during the period known as the Holocene epoch. This marked the transition from the Pleistocene epoch to the current geological epoch we are in today.
When did the last ice sheets retreat?
The last ice sheets retreated at the end of the last ice age, known as the Pleistocene epoch, around 11,700 years ago. This marked the transition to the current interglacial period, known as the Holocene epoch.

What day did the ice age end?
The ice age ended around 11,700 years ago, during the Quaternary period. This marked the beginning of the Holocene epoch, which is the current geological epoch we are in.

The end of the last ice age occurred approximately 11,700 years ago during the period known as the Holocene epoch. This marked the transition from the Pleistocene epoch to the current geological epoch we are in today.
When is the next ice age movie?
It depends when this question was made. The current ice age movie is number 4.
Can be considered an interglacial in the current ice age?
sure
When did last ice age end?
The last ice age ended 100 000 years ago.
When did the last ice sheets retreat?
The last ice sheets retreated at the end of the last ice age, known as the Pleistocene epoch, around 11,700 years ago. This marked the transition to the current interglacial period, known as the Holocene epoch.
What do geologists think happened after the last ice age?
After the last ice age, known as the Pleistocene Epoch, geologists believe that the Earth warmed, causing the ice to melt and the glaciers to retreat. This led to rising sea levels and the formation of many of the landscapes and features we see today. Additionally, it triggered the end of the ice age and the beginning of the current epoch, the Holocene.
When was the end of the ice age?
The last glaciation ended about 10,000 years ago but the ice age is still with us. It started about 2.58 million years ago and we are living in a warm period called an interglacial, (between glaciations).
When did Ireland become an island?
at the end of the ice age
