The Bubbles are pair of rounded roche moutonnées on Mount Desert Island, within Acadia National Park, in Maine, United States. Consisting of the North Bubble and South Bubble, they are one of the most popular photographic subjects in the park, with common viewpoints behind the lawn at Jordan Pond House or the adjacent Jordan Pond.[1] The two mountains are separated by a narrow saddle valley.[2] Bubble Rock, a massive glacial erratic carried 19 miles (31 km) by the ice sheet from a Lucerne granite outcrop, perches precariously on the edge of the South Bubble.[3][4] The mountains are 830 feet (250 m) in height.[2]
