Can a liquid turn to a solid by applying pressure? (Gas laws)

When pressure increases, volume decreases. If an extremely high pressure is applied to a liquid, is it possible to reduce it's volume to an extent where the molecules are very tight together, hence becoming a solid? Or do changes in pressure and volume not alter the physical properties of the substance and the liquid remains liquid?
