label: Description
content: Landscape and seascape sketch showing a view of the cliffs of Belle Isle as seen from the ocean's surface off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The water's surface extends through the foreground to the middle distance, where the island's coastal cliffs rise steeply out of the sea. Layers of soil and rock strata are visible around the cliff's many eroded embankments. The island's relatively flat top stretches across the composition and out of frame at right.
