Part 2 ~ Little Ice Age (LIA), climate interval that occurred from the early 14th
century through the mid-19th century, when mountain glaciers expanded
at several locations, including the European Alps, New Zealand, Alaska,
and the southern Andes, and mean annual temperatures across the Northern
Hemisphere declined by 0.6 °C (1.1 °F) relative to the average
temperature between 1000 and 2000 ce. The term Little Ice Age was
introduced to the scientific literature by Dutch-born American geologist
F.E. Matthes in 1939.
