content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the mountainous coastline of Fogo Island, including Brimstone Head, on the northern coast of Newfoundland island in Canada. Viewed from the ocean waters, which comprise the foreground, Brimstone Head is visible at center as the tallest, round prominence in the scene. Reddish rocks make up the coastline around Brimstone Head. In the distance at left, three other hills on the coast of Fogo Island are shown green with vegetation. Above, long wispy clouds hang in an otherwise hazy and overcast sky.
