Producing cold or frost; relating to areas where ice and snow accumulate year-round.
From Latin 'algus' meaning 'cold' and the suffix '-fic' from 'facere' meaning 'to make.' Combined, it literally means 'making cold.' This term is primarily used in geology and geography to describe climate and environmental conditions.
Scientists use 'algific' to describe mysterious underground caves and slopes that stay frozen even in summer—these special places create their own mini ice ages and can support unique plants and animals found nowhere else!
