There is a common view among Creationist climatologists and physicists that there was one Ice Age post Noah Flood in contrast to the many Ice ages proposed in secular literature A brief overview is as follows: During the late period of the Flood there was much breaking apart of the one land mass into continents, involving subduction of the earth's surface and subsequent newly formed seafloors which heated the water. As well, there was great volcanic activity at these areas of subduction. The developing oceans were "hot" and water evaporated off from them, but due to increased cloud cover from the volcanic ash the water re-precipitated over the cooler land surfaces as snow-massive amounts of it. This great snowfall consolidated and became ice sheets. Some have felt that the Ice Age lasted about 500 years-and the earth's land surface began to warm up.
"Subduction zone volcanoes continued to erupt for centuries after the Flood, gradually decreasing in number and intensity. They ejected aerosols (tiny particles and droplets) into the atmosphere that reflected significant amounts of sunlight, resulting in cooler summers that prevented winter snow and ice from melting. As the snow and ice accumulated year after year, thick ice sheets formed." Dr Michael Oard a climatologist was one who proposed this scenario. (It is updated by Dr Jake Hebert, a physicist in ICR Acts and Facts vol. 47 #11 Nov. 2018.) An online version of this concept contrasting it with the secular multi-ice ages view is online by CMI-see link below. There is also a web page, under the Issues in Creation and Evolution sub-section Geology, on my website (here) that has other links.
