The last glacial maximum (LGM) occurred approximately 20,000 years ago. This was a period when the Earth's climate was much colder than it is today, and large ice sheets covered much of North America, Europe, and Asia. It marked the end of the last ice age and the beginning of the current interglacial period, which we are still in today.
