The picture shows three levels of the cryoplanation terrace on mount Jacques-Cartier. Rock polygons are replaced gradually by the felsenmeer while nearing the summit.
This site is part of the SEPAQ network (http://www.sepaq.com/). The construction at the top is a shelter named 'Eole', because it is windy in the summit aera.
