True.
During glacial periods (e.g., the Last Glacial Maximum ~21,000 years ago) huge ice sheets expanded over large parts of the Northern Hemisphere and global climates were colder and generally drier. Forests contracted into refugia and were replaced across much of the continents by ice, tundra, steppe/grassland and cold/arid deserts, so overall area of glaciers plus non-forested deserts/tundra was much larger than during interglacial (warm) times.
