I have to assume he meant some city in a well populated area, not some
area unpopulated like an ice shelf.

Are you claiming that the Laurentide ice sheet wasn't a mile thick in
many places? Sorry to burst your bubble, but it was. Your criterion for
populated cities is meaningless. Back then, the entire area was, except
perhaps for the occasional straggler, devoid of humans.

Notice where he says "where I am", indicating he is talking about a
well populated city "TODAY". I am asking does it make any sense that
ice was a "mile thick" in the area 20K years ago?

I am asking about the AREA he mentioned, not greenland.

Please, I am not asking a difficult or trick question.
