The Snout is one name for it.
A glacier is always moving forward (downhill). In the winter, the glacier usually isn't melting and its front edge (or "toe") will advance downhill. In the summer, the toe of the glacier usually melts faster than the glacier is moving forward, causing the front edge of the glacier to recede. If the recession in the summer is greater than the advance in the winter, then the glacier as a whole is receding and will eventually disappear. That is what is currently happening to most of the glaciers in North America and many other places around the world.

It is called a glacier.
A glacier builds up a moraine in front of it as it pushes dirt and rock ahead of it.
An extensive pile of till (loose debris & rocks) called an end moraine can build up at the front of the glacier and is typically crescent shaped. Two kinds of end moraines are recognized: terminal and recessional moraines. A terminal moraine is the ridge of till that marks the farthest advance of the glacier before it started to recede. A recessional moraine is one that develops at the front of the receding glacier; a series of recessional moraines mark the path of a retreating glacier.
Ridges of rock debris that form in front of a glacier are called terminal moraines at the point that the glacier stops moving ahead.
ice front .
a glacier snout is the front of the glacier :)
Yes.
The leading edge of a glacier.

to find
When a glacier stops moving and end moraine will be deposited in front of it.
If they are breaking off into water, they are called icebergs.
It is a glacier. As more snow and ice is added at the top, in the mountains, so the extra weight helps to push the front of the glacier downhill.
It is called a glacier.
