Short summary
Over the last 2.6 Myr, the Quaternary period has been marked by the alternation of extended and reduced Northern Hemisphere ice sheets, known as glacial-interglacial cycles. With a simple model, we are able to reproduce the main features of the ice volume evolution, like the switch of periodicity, from 41 kyr cycles to 100 kyr cycles, observed in the data after 1 Ma. The quality of the model-data agreement depending on the input insolation and period considered is discussed.
