Is this interesting as its only 11 degrees, as there was an ice age 20k years ago, most people would expect it to be a lot more than 11?

Yep. The entire world doesn't need to be below freezing for massive glaciers to cover almost everything

It might be “only 11 degrees”, but that's across the whole planet. Water can hold an absurd amount of heat.

But that was my question, is the interesting part of this fact that its only 11 degrees?

Pretty much.
