Pleistocene Ice Age: Continents Sparingly Affected - South America, Africa, Australia

Science >> Science Discoveries > >> Geology

The continents that were not covered by ice during the Pleistocene age were:

* South America (except for the Andes Mountains)

* Africa (except for the highest peaks in the Atlas Mountains)

* Australia (except for the highest peaks in the Australian Alps)

It's important to note that while these continents weren't entirely covered in ice, they did experience significant glacial activity in specific regions.
