  • Understanding Past Glaciation: Ice Sheets of the Northern Hemisphere
    It's not entirely clear what you mean by "swept over north". Do you mean:

    * Glaciers that covered the northern hemisphere?

    * The Laurentide Ice Sheet was the largest, covering much of North America during the last glacial period.

    * The Cordilleran Ice Sheet covered western North America.

    * The Inuitian Ice Sheet covered northern Canada and Greenland.

    * The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet covered much of northern Europe.

    * The Barents-Kara Ice Sheet covered parts of northern Russia.

    * Glaciers that specifically flowed south from a northern starting point?

    * The Laurentide Ice Sheet flowed south, reaching as far as the Ohio River Valley.

    * The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet flowed south into central Europe.

    * Glaciers that currently exist in the northern hemisphere?

    * There are many glaciers in the Arctic (e.g., Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard).

    * There are also glaciers in the Rocky Mountains, the Alps, and other mountain ranges.
