Where can I get a map of the Ice Age ice cap compared to today's?

Question

I would like a visual comparison of how far the glaciers extended (New York, London, etc) during the last Ice Age compared to where the permanent ice cap is situated today.  High-res pictures preferred, as I may seek permission to use them in a short video.

Here is a better one, but it's obviously a paleontologic reconstruction:
