Grab your skates and skis and throw on your coat and toque for this summertime ice-capade! Meet the mighty mastodon and say hello to the fierce sabre-toothed cat as we climb ice-cold glaciers and trek through the frozen forest tundras. Join palaeontologist Ashley Reynolds and discover the many massive megafauna of the Ice Age, how they went extinct, and the animals that live on today. Then, find out where our ancestors were during these chilly times and the incredible migration that humans made. Make yourself a sweet, icy treat, or build a frozen paradise in the middle of summer with a homemade snow globe.
