A crevasse is usually found near the terminal end of a glacier. As the ice mass moves down, it reaches a point where it begins to "split" and is more likely to produce a crevasse.

In geology, calving refers to the breaking away of a mass of ice from an iceberg, an ice front or a glacier. It occurs when crevasses penetrate the full thickness of the ice

a crevasses is kind of ike a sink hole you avoid them by finding another pathway
Yes, many.
Crevasses
Crevasses are formed due to tensile forces overcoming the cohesive strength of the ice. They form perpendicular to the principle stress. So depending on what is happening to the Glacier Ice, different types of crevasses can form. Chevron crevasses form from high friction with the valley sides. Transverse crevasses form from extending ice flows. And splaying crevasses form under compressive ice flows. Hope this helps!
