Flowers (gradually) appearing in cold regions (8)
I believe the answer is:
glaciers
This clue could be a double definition.
'flowers' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'gradually appearing in cold regions' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glaciers that I've seen before include "Slowly moving ice-masses" , "Slowly moving masses of ice" , "Ice flows" , "Slow-moving masses of ice" , "Slow-moving ice-masses" .)
