There are so many variations of glacier types. If the head of the glacier is high in the mountains, then the lower end could possibly be called the mouth of the glacier?
The ridge at the end of a glacier is called a terminal moraine. It forms when debris and sediment that were carried by the glacier accumulate and are deposited at the glacier's snout as it melts and retreats. Terminal moraines can help mark the furthest extent of a glacier's advance.

A glacier snout is the terminus or end point of a glacier where ice and meltwater are released. It is where the glacier meets lower elevations and warmer temperatures, causing melting and ice loss. The snout can vary in shape and size depending on the glacier's dynamics.
When a glacier stops moving and end moraine will be deposited in front of it.
The material deposited by meltwater beyond the end of a glacier is called moraine. This sediment consists of a mixture of rocks, gravel, sand, and silt that was transported and deposited by the glacier as it melted.
The terminal moraine is the sediment deposition furthest from the source of the glacier. It is also known as an end moraine, however depending on recession or advancement of the glacier, the end moraine is not always the terminal moraine. Lateral moraines are lines of sediment deposited along the outer walls or boundaries of a glacier and can run from the top of the glacier down to its end.

The area that is melting faster than it is accumulating is the "Zone of Ablation." The very bottom end of a glacier is typically called its "foot."
