Glaciations have occurred on every continent, with Antarctica and Greenland currently hosting the largest ice sheets. In the past, ice sheets also covered much of North America, Europe, Asia, and South America during glacial periods. Africa and Australia have experienced glaciations as well, though to a lesser extent.
