Azusa, Lost but Seeking + Crucible of Worlds + Glacial Chasm

Overview
Azusa lets you play two additional lands each turn, and Crucible of Worlds lets you play lands from your graveyard; together you can play multiple lands from hand and graveyard on your turn and Ruling [2020-06-23]. However, when Glacial Chasm enters the battlefield its triggered ability “When this land enters, sacrifice a land.” will go on the stack and, while that trigger is on the stack, you cannot play a land because playing a land is a special action that may be taken only when the stack is empty and . If you have no other lands when that trigger resolves, you must sacrifice Glacial Chasm itself [Ruling 2008-08-01].
Step 1
Before playing Glacial Chasm: Determine how many lands you can play this turn by applying Azusa’s effect (two additional lands) to the default one land per turn rule and Ruling [2020-06-23]. Crucible of Worlds allows you to play lands from your graveyard as if they were in your hand, so those plays count toward that number .
Step 2
If you choose to play other lands first (from hand or graveyard via Crucible): Play those lands while the stack is empty during your main phase . Those lands will be on the battlefield when Glacial Chasm later enters.
Step 3
When you play Glacial Chasm as a land: Glacial Chasm enters the battlefield, and its triggered ability “When this land enters, sacrifice a land.” triggers and is put on the stack. While that trigger is on the stack, you cannot play a land because playing a land requires the stack to be empty and is a special action .
Step 4
Let the ETB trigger resolve: When the trigger resolves, you must sacrifice a land you control. If you control any other land, you may choose which land to sacrifice. If you control no other land at that moment, you must sacrifice Glacial Chasm itself [Ruling 2008-08-01].
Step 5
After the trigger resolves and the stack is empty: If you still have remaining land plays available this turn (Azusa’s extra plays not yet used), you may play additional lands now while the stack is empty and .
Resolution
You can use Azusa and Crucible to play multiple lands (including from your graveyard) during your turn and Ruling [2020-06-23], but you cannot play a land in response to Glacial Chasm’s ETB trigger because playing a land requires the stack to be empty . When the Chasm’s ETB trigger resolves you must sacrifice a land; if you control no other land at that moment, you must sacrifice Glacial Chasm itself [Ruling 2008-08-01].
