Technically we are still in a Ice age. As the definition of a ice age is "a time when a part of the planet is cover in permanent ice". Now we have perma-frost in the Arctic/Antarctic and ice covers our highest mountains all year round.There is less ice every year however.This is due to global warming.Due to this the oceans rise and grow colder.Never the less this still means we are still in the latest Ice age.
