During the Pleistocene, there were four major glaciations, popularly known as Gunz, Mindel, Riss and Wurm. The glacial periods were separated by three interglacials of varying periods of duration. In addition to these four major glaciations, there were several periods of glacial advances and retreats and warm climate (inter-stadials) during the glacials.
