This period can stay for thousands or millions of years. The oceans and seas are frozen and the temperature is cooled. Also many sources of fresh water were locked behind those ice sheets. The most recent ice age was about 10,000 years ago. Those ice sheets covered Antarctica, most of Europe, North America, South America, and parts of Asia. Humans still existed in this period of time. They proved their existence through their drawings on caves. They often drew animals and events that happened to them. They knew the animals that existed at that time and how to protect themselves.
