Today Tibet is the most essential heating surface of the atmosphere. During the Last glacial period a c. 2,400,000 square kilometres (930,000 sq mi) ice sheet covered the plateau. [16] This glaciation took place in correspondence to a lowering of the snowline by 1,200 metres (3,900 ft).

Midui Glacier in Nyingchi. Today, Tibet is an important heating surface of the atmosphere. However, during the Last Glacial Maximum, an approximately 2,400,000 square kilometres (930,000 sq mi) ice sheet covered the plateau. [38] [39] [40] Due to its great extent, this glaciation in the subtropics was an important element of radiative forcing.
The southernmost named glacier among them is the Lilliput Glacier in Tulare County, east of the Central Valley of California. Mexico has about two dozen glaciers, all of which are located on Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl), Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, the three tallest mountains in the country.

A map showing the probable extent of land and water at the time of the last glacial maximum, 20,000 years ago and when the sea level was likely more than 110 metres lower than it is today. There were ice sheets in modern Tibet (although scientists continue to debate the extent to which the Tibetan Plateau was covered with ice) as well as in ...
