Talk:Laurentide ice sheet

time frame?
This press release states that the comet mentioned would have hit around 12,900 years ago, but the current listed time scale is "between c. 95,000 and c. 20,000 years before the present day." --babbage 03:01, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Error in Quick Facts / Area
Area section in the sidebar makes no sense. Area is not usually given in square units by square units; it is meaningless. Even if the units were meant to be linear, they don't make anywhere near the total area of the ice sheet as given in the main text. I do not have the book cited, but there must be other sources of the ice sheet's footprint. Sti11w4ter (talk) 18:45, 12 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Good point. I have removed it, until somebody can give better data. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 21:51, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Central North America
Where is that supposed to be? Looking at North America it would be mainly the United States. Should it not be central Northern America? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 17:49, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Map
The ice on the map covers too much area in Siberia. As well as Alaska was more, less free of ice. Also coastline was very different then. It was 120 m below today's level and Beringia was a land not a sea. Osetnik (talk) 12:12, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
