From this point of view , scientists consider this `` ice age '' to be merely the latest glaciation event in a much larger ice age , one that dates back over two million years and is still ongoing .. ice age. ice age. glaciation. glaciation. During this last glacial period , there were several changes between glacier advance and retreat .. glacial period. glacial period.

While the general pattern of global cooling and glacier advance was similar , local differences in the development of glacier advance and retreat make it difficult to compare the details from continent to continent -LRB- see picture of ice core data below for differences -RRB- ..
