The comic shows the ice levels at major {{w|North American}} cities at the {{w|Last_Glacial_Maximum|peak of the last ice age}}, 21,000 years ago. During this period, a vast amount of frozen water covered North America as well as other areas around the world. So much ice that it affected the global sea level (see {{w|Sea level rise}}) to lower it by more than a hundred meters. | The comic shows the ice levels at major {{w|North American}} cities at the {{w|Last_Glacial_Maximum|peak of the last ice age}}, 21,000 years ago.

The tallest ice sheet takes up 265 pixels. From that, each pixel is about 12.4 meters and the height of the panels is 3.7 km with less than 200 m of the ground shown in black below the cities making the white "air" above ground reaching up to 3.5 km, leaving only 200 m of air above the highest ice sheet.<!-- gibberish --> | The tallest ice sheet takes up 265 pixels.
