“Roughly at that time there was very thick sheet of ice
on top of New York City. Southern US had roughly the
climate of Canada. The current tropics were temperate.”

What about London/UK?
Was it also covered in ice?

Could people live in the UK area or not?

The above article says
Ochre is often associated with human burials: for example, the Upper Paleolithic cave site of Arene Candide has an early use of ochre at a burial of a young man 23,500 years ago. The site of Paviland Cave in the UK, dated to about the same time, had a burial so soaked in red ochre he was (somewhat mistakenly) called the “Red Lady”.

NYC
Coordinates: 40.712740°N 74.005974°W
London
Coordinates: 51°30′26″N 0°7′39″W

This is what confuses me.

Is it just different scientist
guessing differently?

I really am curious.

the first link is easier to see the ice extent but probably not as accurate as the second.

Abd there have been many ice ages!

We’re still in the last one, what you’re experiencing is a warming lull. We are in the Quaternary Period

” The Quaternary Period is typically defined by the cyclic growth and decay of continental ice sheets related to the Milankovitch cycles and the associated climate and environmental changes that they caused “
