a glacier that stays in one spot ( stationary )
answer 2 the above is OK, but these stationary ice fields are usually called ice plateaus. And they are plateaus because they don't move; otherwise they would be sloping. Actually they may have a very slight slope, but they will appear flat.
An ice front is likely to be stationary when the rate of ice accumulation in the glacier matches the rate of ice loss due to melting or calving at the front. This equilibrium state is known as a stable glacier front, where there is no net advance or retreat of the ice front.

A melting glacier gets smaller, but a growing glacier gets bigger.
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.
The end or outer margin of a glacier is called the glacier terminus. This is where the glacier ends and begins to melt or calve into the surrounding environment, such as a body of water or land. Changes in the glacier terminus are closely monitored by scientists to understand the health and movement of the glacier.
melts as fast as it moves.

It is a valley glacier
No, a glacier canyon is not a real glacier. A glacier canyon is a canyon formed by the movement of a glacier over time, carving out the landscape as it flows.

There are quite a few glaciers to hike to in Glacier, but probably the most-visited glacier is Grinnell Glacier, located in the Many Glacier Valley.

The tip of a glacier is called the glacier terminus or glacier snout. It is the furthest point reached by the glacier as it flows downhill.
