Glacial erosional landforms - roche moutonnee

The striated left side of this resistant quartzite layer is the abraded up-glacier side of an elongate roche moutonnee; the steeply inclined, plucked, down-glacier (right) side of this feature lacks striations. This is the same feature seen in image 354, viewed in the opposite direction.
