Summary[edit]

| Description |
English: The hill seen here has a long, gentle side directly behind the summit. The side facing the viewer is relatively short, steep, and rough. The hill formed by glacial abrasion and plucking - such glacially eroded knobs of bedrock are called roches moutonnées. The long side is the up-glacier side and the short side is the down-glacier side (= the direction the glacier was moving). In this case, the glacier moved toward the viewer (during the Pleistocene Ice Age).
Locality: North Bubble (view from the summit of South Bubble), Acadia National Park, Mt. Desert Island, southern-coastal Maine, USA See info. at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_moutonnée |
