  1. We are currently in an ice age: True. We are in the Quaternary glaciation, which started 2.6 million years ago.

  2. We are currently in a glacial period: False. Glacial periods, or glacials, are the colder phases within an ice age when glaciers advance. Currently, we are not in a glacial period.

  3. We are currently in an interglacial period: True. Interglacial periods are the warmer phases within an ice age when glaciers retreat. The current interglacial period, known as the Holocene, started about 11,700 years ago.
