The growth of glaciers is the defining feature of an ice age.
Explanation:
Ice ages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age) have occurred periodically throughout Death's history. The last one ended about 10,000 years ago.
Glaciers do not just grow during ice ages. The also act as giant earth movers, scooping up great quantities of land and transporting them, before the glaciers retreat and leave the transported land (called moraines) behind. In the United States this process produced the Great Lakes and the ridges and dunes of moraines surrounding them. In Europe glacier-driven transport of land led to what are now the United Kingdom and Ireland becoming islands.
