label: Description
content: Seascape sketch showing a view of icebergs (and possibly coastal cliffs) along the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. At upper left, an iceberg with sharp, rugged forms emerges from the sea and is noted as being "green" (it could possibly a rock with greenery, though this is unlikey). Behind it, the left and right edges of another iceberg are visible. Along the lower portion, a large, dissolving iceberg at left fractures into smaller, sharper fragments. The cliff at left may also be a coastline with nearby icebergs.
