The front of a glacier is called the terminus or snout. It is where the glacier meets the surrounding environment, such as water or land.
The melted water at the base of a glacier acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the ice and the land beneath it. This helps the glacier slide over the land more easily, contributing to the movement of the glacier.
A glacier is a mass of ice that forms on land. It is created from the accumulation and compaction of snow over many years.

When a glacier melts, it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land, creating various landforms.
A tributary glacier is like a glacier to the side of the main glacier, oftem separated by a land form.
A glacier is a land form as it is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land. It is not considered a body of water, but rather a type of land feature formed from accumulated snow and ice.
There are glaciers near Parque Nacional Huascaran by Huaraz, in the Andes northeast of Lima.
