A bergschrund is a type of crevasse that separates flowing ice from stagnant ice in the upper reaches of a glacier or in a cirque. A col is a low point on a ridge or between two peaks, a horn is a pointed mountain peak, a hanging valley is a valley that is elevated above the main valley floor due to glacial erosion, and an arete is a sharp ridge that forms where two cirques meet. None of these terms accurately describe the crevasse described in the question.
