Hello 3bar,

Now I understand where you're coming from! Unfortunately, that article you cited is egregiously misleading when it implies that most of North America was covered by ice!

The truth is that the ice age in North America was mostly a Greenland/Canada thing.

Much of Alaska and the 48 US contiguous states were ice free. The ice-free interior of Alaska was not Shangri-La. It may have had warm summers, but they were brief! The average annual temperature of Interior Alaska would have been much lower the US states south of the ice sheet, just as it is today.

All of Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands were ice free.

This map shows the extent of glaciation in North America...
