label: Description
content: Seascape sketches showing two views off the coasts of Cape St. John and Gull Island in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. In the upper portion, an immense iceberg with a craggy top and sheer, vertical edges is shown beside another smaller and more jagged iceberg at right. In the lower portion, billowing and brightly-illuminated cumulous clouds brilliantly fill the sky above above the steep and round Gull Island. Their light is luminously reflected on the rippling ocean water below.
