content: Seascape sketch showing four views of floating icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. One iceberg is situated in each quadrant of the composition: at upper left, a sprawling iceberg with steep cliffs and a craggy ridge of ice; at upper right: a relatively low iceberg with a long, flat prominence; at lower right, an iceberg and a nearby piece that both resemble shark fins; and at lower left, an iceberg with a flat, cylindrical prominence that makes it resemble a cowboy's hat.
