Reply to comment by kavien in Deep overturning circulation collapses with strong warming, which could cause a "disaster" in the world's oceans. by sibti

Last ice age was about 10k years ago if I am not mistaken.

And the last Ice Age animation came out about 7 years ago.

We are currently in a ice age I believe it's less than about 2.5 million years.

The easiest definition for an ice age is just whenever there's ice at the poles year round.

We are at the warm cycle of an ice age but also in a hundred thousand year warming and cooling cycle which you can look up as the 100,000-year cycle or the interglacial cycle.
