glacial: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que los adjetivos "glacial" y "glaciar" no significan lo mismo: "glacial" es helado, mientras que "glaciar" se aplica a las masas de hielo que se forman en las laderas de las montañas y se deslizan lentamente. [...] Por su parte, "glacial" solo es adjetivo y significa extremadamente frío, muy frío, helado. 2, record 2, Spanish, - glacial
