label: Description
content: Seascape sketches showing two views that each include two icebergs, recorded off the coast of Newfoundland island near Cape St. John, organized into two stacked rows. In the upper row, two large, rugged, and amorphous icebergs float in close proximity--possibly two peaks of a single berg. In the lower row, two similar icebegs--possibly the same as those in the upper row--stand at a greater distance from one another while ice fragments float in the water between them. The iceberg at left has a distinctly sharp, serrated contour.
