lago englacial: No se debe confundir glacial (que está en zonas frías) con glaciar (relativo a una masa de hielo acumulada en las zonas de las cordilleras por encima del límite de las nieves perpetuas). Lamentablemente, las fuentes en Internet no reflejan esta diferencia y utilizan equívocamente "glacial". 1, record 1, Spanish, - lago%20englaciar
