We're not in an ice age at the moment, but ice caps are still present.
Detailed Description
Ice ages and ice coverage of Earth's land masses come and go. The last ice age was about 20,000 years ago, where ice and glaciers extended southward deep into Europe and over Canada and into the northern United States. The ice has retreated in current times, but ice and glaciers still cover a significant amont of Earth's land masses, especially in Greenland and Antarctica.

Glaciers and Icecaps
Glaciers are a big item when we talk about the world's water supply. Almost 10 percent of the world's land mass is currently covered with glaciers, mostly in places like Greenland and Antarctica. You can think of a glacier as a frozen river, and like rivers, they "flow" downhill, erode the landscape, and move water along in the Earth's water cycle.
