This is a great photo, picked up from social media, of an island in one of the East Greenland fjords which is a classic roche moutonnee form, with the long moulded rock slope of the stoss (up-glacier) side and the steep cliffs of the lee (downglacier) side.
If you look carefully you can also see a lot of raised beach ridges, indicating that the island has almost doubled in size because of isostatic recovery since it was initially deglaciated. I'm not entirely sure of the precise location.......
