As to why no one does it nowadays could have something they didn't have then - political barriers.

Geoff, I don't think you understand. During the ice age, anywhere north of the current Canadian US border, THERE WAS NO SUMMER! No grass or trees and no bare soil; just ice! And in most places that was literally miles deep.
It would be like migrating across the Greenland ice cap or Antartica today. Doable? Maybe with modern equipment, but much easier to go around ... in a boat.
