        Hi guys!

        We would expect to see another ice age because these are controlled by the way the Earth orbits the Sun ☀, but not for a very long time (probably 50,000 to 100,000 years), and some scientists think now that climate change might even delay the next ice age by about 100,000 years! ⛄

        Ice Ages come and go over thousands of years! We will never see another Ice Age in our lifetimes but there will be one at some point. ❄️❄️❄️

        I think we’re technically in what we call an interglacial period now – that’s what we call a period of time between ice ages when there is still frozen ice sheets at the Arctic and Antarctic.if another Ice Age were to happen a lot of Europe would be covered in Ice – Britain would look very different to today!
