  2. Last Glacial Maximum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Glacial_Maximum

    During the Last Glacial Maximum, much of the world was cold, dry, and inhospitable, with frequent storms and a dust-laden atmosphere. The dustiness of the atmosphere is a prominent feature in ice cores; dust levels were as much as 20 to 25 times greater than they are in the present.

  3. Last Glacial Period - Wikipedia

    An artist's impression of the last glacial period at glacial maximum [4]. The LGP is often colloquially referred to as the "last ice age", though the term ice age is not strictly defined, and on a longer geological perspective, the last few million years could be termed a single ice age given the continual presence of ice sheets near both poles.

    The Last Glacial Maximum map with vegetation types. Last Glacial Maximum refugia were places in which humans and other species survived during the Last Glacial Period, around 25,000 to 18,000 years ago. [1] Glacial refugia are areas that climate changes were not as severe, and where species could recolonize after deglaciation. [2]

  5. Wisconsin glaciation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_glaciation

    The maximum ice extent occurred about 25,000–21,000 years ago during the last glacial maximum, also known as the Late Wisconsin in North America. The Last Glacial Period caused a much lower global sea level. This glaciation radically altered the geography north of the Ohio River, creating the Great Lakes.
