The process of covering with ice or glaciers, or undergoing the geological process of glacier formation.
Present participle of glaciate. Emphasizes the ongoing or continuous nature of glaciation as a process.
Right now, glaciers are actually retreating in most places due to warming, so we're less glaciating and more deglacjating—it's a planetary shift happening in real time!
