Learn English – Adjective meaning very slow-moving

single-word-requests

I usually use "glacial" to denote something as very slow-moving, but this time I am actually talking about a glacier so it can't be "the glacial glacier".

These are the synonyms of "glacial" (They all mean cold)

These are for "slow-moving", but none seem to actually imply the persistent slow movement of a glacier.

Best Answer

I have encountered creeping in the context of glaciers before.

creeping

advancing or developing gradually.

moving very slowly at a steady pace.

Another suitable adjective is sluggish.
