What river valley looks like a crescent?

Possibly a V-shaped valley or a U-shaped valley. The U- Shaped valley would have been eroded by a glacier meaning it has a wider and flatter base. But the V-shaped valley would have interlocking spurs, and caves which would turn into corries. So, overall, I would say that the river valley that looks like a crescent would have to be the V-shaped valley.

How do valley glaciers form?

A U-shaped valley begins as a V-shaped river valley. If the temperature is low enough, a glacier (river of ice) forms inside the valley. As the glacier slowly moves, it scours the valley floor when the temperature rises and the glaciers melts away, a U-shaped valley is left behind.
