A pointed ridge left by glaciers eroding rocks in two directions is called a "horn." Horns typically form when multiple glaciers carve away at a mountain peak from different sides, resulting in a sharp, pyramid-like shape. This geological feature is often found in mountainous regions that have experienced significant glacial activity.
Glaciers that create cirques on the sides of mountains are called cirque glaciers. These glaciers form in bowl-shaped depressions on the slopes of mountains and are responsible for eroding and shaping the characteristic amphitheater-like features known as cirques. Examples of cirque glaciers can be found in mountain ranges around the world, such as the Alps, Andes, and Himalayas.
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers

Valley Glaciers :)
These are glaciers.
Glaciers grind into mountains by eroding the cirques at their heads. If a mountain has cirques all around it, it is called a horn

A long narrow glacier that forms between mountains is called a valley glacier. These glaciers flow down valleys, eroding the surrounding landscape as they move. Valley glaciers are common in mountainous regions around the world.
A glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move downhill, eroding the land and carrying debris like rocks with them.
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas were called mountain glaciers or cirque glaciers.

Glaciers formed in mountains are called mountain glaciers or alpine glaciers. They are found in high-altitude regions and flow downhill through valleys.

All types of glacier sedimentary deposits are called drift. Winding ridges of sand and small bits of gravel formed by the out wash of melting ice from glaciers are called eskers kames, or moraines. Moraines are also found on the surface of glaciers. Kames form on flat or inclined ice, in holes, or in cracks. They may also be called scree and talus which also come from eroding mountains.
The process of becoming covered by glaciers is called glaciation.
A Pointed Hilltop is called A Peak.
Also called ice sheets, they can be called glaciers or continental ice masses. While glaciers, by definition, have to be moving- albeit VERY slowly- ice sheets can just lay there until they move, which could classify them as a glacier.
