An 'ice age' or, more precisely, 'glacial age' is a generic geological period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of extra cold climate are termed 'glacial periods' (or alternatively 'glacials' or 'glaciations' or colloquially as 'Ice Age' ), and intermittent warm periods are called 'interglacials'. Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres; by this definition we are still in the ice age that began at the start of the Pleistocene (because the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets still exist)

This is a scientifically accurate rendering of the earth millions of years ago during the last ice age . Notice that the continents are of a different shape then they appear today. The shape of the continents is what scientist believe they looked like during this time frame.

It is the best choice available for cinema quality renders of the last ice age and other visualizations depicting continental shift.
