U-shaped valley. Look at pictures of the Yosemite Valley.

The Tasman Glacier is a valley glacier. It is located in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and flows down the Tasman Valley. Valley glaciers form in mountainous regions and flow along valleys carved by rivers.
The glacier will melt eventually, and then form a valley, as well as water flowing through that valley; and it may even help form new valleys.
A glacier helps to form a valley in two ways. When the glacier moves through an area, it scrapes the land and pushes dirt in front of it, making a larger and larger hole that eventually becomes a valley. Runoff from the glacier as it melts also helps, as it carries soil away from the area, digging out a valley.

Valley Glaciers
One type of Alpine glacier is a cirque glacier, which forms in a bowl-shaped depression on the side of a mountain. These glaciers are typically small and may be found at the head of a valley or on a mountainside.
The center of a valley glacier moves the fastest due to reduced friction from surrounding valley walls and terrain. This faster flow in the center can cause the glacier to stretch and crack, creating crevasses.

The name of a glacier that has frozen to bedrock is rock glacier. A rock glacier is formed by angular blocks of frozen rock that form in the valley of glaciers.
