The Recent Ice Age traces the fascinating story of glaciation in Atlantic Canada. Modern glaciers on Baffin Island are used as a field laboratory where geologists are shown working out the Ice Age timetable of the last 20 000 years from sand and gravel deposited by these giant ice sheets. The program shows how the Ice Age is still affecting our coastlines today, through the continuing adjustment of sea-level and the dramatic erosion of coastal farm land and beaches.

La dernière Période Glaciaire présente l'histoire fascinante de la glaciation dans la région atlantique du Canada. Les glaciers modernes sur l'isle de Baffin ainsi que le littoral de la Nouvelle Ecosse servent comme un laboratoire sur le terrain où l'on voit des géologiste qui rechercent le déroulement de la Période Glaciaire des derniers 20 000 ans; ils étudient le sable et le gravier déposé par ces plaques de glace géantes. Le programme démontre comment la Période Glaciaire affecte encore aujourd'hui l'emplacement de nos communautés, nos routes de transport, nos industries et nos régions côtières.
