Description
English:
Northern hemisphere glaciation during the last ice ages. The accumulation of 3 to 4 km thick ice sheets caused a sea level lowering of about 120 m. Also, the Alps and the Himalayas were covered by glaciers. Winter sea ice coverage was much more limited in the south.
Español:
Glaciación del hemisferio del norte durante el último periodo glaciar. La acumulación de 3-4 kilometros de hielo hizo descender el nivel del mar alrededor de 120 metros. También los Alpes y el Himalaya fueron cubiertos por glaciares. El hielo marítimo durante el invierno era más reducido en el sur.
Italiano:
Glaciazione dell'emisfero boreale durante l'ultima glaciazione. L'accumulo di strati di ghiaccio spessi da 3 a 4 km causò un abbassamento del livello del mare di circa 120 m e le Alpi e la catena dell'Himalaya erano coperti da ghiacciai. Durante l'inverno, i ghiacci sul mare erano molto più ridotti a sud.
Русский:
Северное полушарие Земли во время последнего оледенения. Уровень Мирового океана упал на 120 м из-за расхода воды на 3–4-километровые ледники. Льдами были покрыты Альпы и Гималаи. Зимние льды в море простирались не столь далеко.
