label: Description
content: Seascape sketch of icebergs floating in dark, cloud-covered seas off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Situated at center, the largest iceberg has two sharp peaks at left and right, while a smaller iceberg--possibly a portion of the larger one--peeks out from the water at right. Dark ocean waters extend from the foreground to the background, where they meet the cloudy sky on the distant, flat horizon.
