Last Glacial Period

Period of major glaciations of the Northern Hemisphere (115,000–11,700 years ago)

The Last Glacial Period (LGP), also known as the last glacial cycle, occurred from the end of the Last Interglacial to the beginning of the Holocene, from around 115,000–11,700 years ago, and thus corresponds to most of the timespan of the Late Pleistocene. It thus formed the most recent period of what is colloquially known as the "Ice Age". The LGP is part of a larger sequence of glacial and interglacial periods known as the Quaternary glaciation which started around 2.58 million years ago and is ongoing.
