In the immediate foreground is the sea. Even farther left is the rack on which heavy leather fishing garb was stretched out to dry. At its head a stream comes tumbling down from the highlands, foaming over a series of waterfalls. The stream subsequently meanders along the right-hand side of the picture until it flows into the sea. On both sides of the waterfalls are mountains.
Glaciers dominate the distant horizon.
It is much less likely that we are witnessing a volcanic eruption. A number of these identifications are open to question. All rights reserved.
