On the other hand, the Ice Bucket Challenge probably wouldn't have gone viral if we didn't enjoy seeing others - especially famous people - in discomfort from being drenched by ice-cold water. Two people die after going through the ice on Lake Poinsett. The Hamlin County Sheriff’s Department says it was reported shortly after 6:00 o’clock Saturday evening. Two people on an ATV had broken through the ice. Emergency and law enforcement personnel from several agencies were sent to the scene. The Packers literally and figuratively 'kept their cool.' Behind the leadership of future Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr, they marched down field. With sixteen seconds remaining and the temperature down to eighteen below zero, the Packers found themselves about two feet away from victory. Starr called time out. The field was like a sheet. With freezers allowing people to make ice at home, there was little need to ship massive quantities across the country. Today, the ice industry pulls in $2.5 billion a year, but it's nowhere near.
Administrative and Criminal Arrests: In FY 2020, ICE ERO conducted 103,603 administrative arrests, a 28 percent decline from FY 2019, and 90 percent of those arrested had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges at the time of arrest. In addition to arresting aliens for administrative violations of the immigration laws, ICE ERO also conducts criminal arrests and assists with pursuing prosecutions related to such criminal activity. In FY 2020, ICE ERO enforcement activities resulted in 4,360 criminal arrests, 4,479 criminal charges, and 5,397 convictions.

Removals: ICE ERO conducted 185,884 removals during FY 2020, a 30 percent decrease from FY 2019. This decrease primarily resulted from a sharp decline in CBP apprehensions at the Southwest Border due to the use of authority under 42 U.S.C. §§ 265 and 268 to expel aliens from the United States to prevent the introduction of COVID19, though it was also impacted by a decline in ICE ERO interior arrests. The vast majority of ICE ERO’s interior removals – 92 percent – had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, demonstrating ICE ERO’s commitment to removing those who pose the greatest risk to the safety and security of the United States. Additionally, despite the overall decrease in removals, ICE ERO assisted CBP with 17,000 air charter expulsions under Title 42, and also saw increases in removals to several countries that were previously uncooperative with removal efforts.

More about mammoths : The Ice Ages
When Were the Ices Ages and Why Are They Called That?
The Ice Ages began 2.4 million years ago and lasted until 11,500 years ago. During this time, the earth’s climate repeatedly changed between very cold periods, during which glaciers covered large parts of the world (see map below), and very warm periods during which many of the glaciers melted. The cold periods are called glacials (ice covering) and the warm periods are called interglacials.
There were at least 17 cycles between glacial and interglacial periods. The glacial periods lasted longer than the interglacial periods. The last glacial period began about 100,000 years ago and lasted until 25,000 years ago. Today we are in a warm interglacial period.

A moraine
When a glacier (or ice sheet) grows and moves across the landscape, it pushes rocks and sediments. When the glacier melts, it leaves piles of these rocks behind. The rock piles are called moraines. These moraines provide evidence that glaciers once covered large parts of the world.
Scientists also study the chemicals in ice cores from Greenland (a country in the far north) and rock deposits from the ocean floor. Those chemicals indicate what the climate was like when the ice or rocks were formed.
