Summary
| Description |
English: The island seen here has a long, gentle side on the left and a short, steep side on the right. It formed by glacial abrasion and plucking. Such glacially eroded knobs of bedrock are called roches moutonnées. The long side is the up-glacier side. The short side is the down-glacier side (= the direction the glacier was moving).
