let's talk about the mainstream idea first
An '''Ice Age''' is a theory first proposed by [[Louis Agassiz]] to explain anomalies such as the existence of the [[Great Lakes]].<ref>[http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/virtualmuseum/climatechange2/02_1.shtml Discovery of the Great Ice Age]</ref><ref>Aber, James S., [http://academic.emporia.edu/aberjame/histgeol/agassiz/agassiz.htm Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz]</ref> The theory suggests that there were one or more periods of [[Earth]]'s history when [[ice]] sheets covered a much larger part of the [[planet]] than is currently the case.

Earth and rock worn and smoothed by ice sheets, along with U-shaped [[valley]]s and termination deposition debris, are the main evidences for an Ice Age, and there is evidence of such [[glacier|glaciation]] covering northern [[Europe]] (including most of [[Britain]]), most of [[Canada]], and into the northern parts of eastern half of the [[United States]].<ref Name="WBE">Ice Age, World Book Encyclopedia 2000 CD ROM</ref>

During an Ice Age, lowered sea levels due to the water being tied up in glaciers and ice caps would result in [[land bridge]]s in some places where there are now [[ocean]]s and [[strait]]s.

[[Young Earth Creationism|Creationary scientists]] believe that there was a single Ice Age that lasted around 700 years following [[Great Flood|Noah's Flood]].<ref name="CAB" />
