content: Seascape sketch showing two views of icebergs and an island (likely Castle Island) in the bay off of the ghost town of Henley Harbour in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Stretching across the upper portion, the long island has two flat, raised prominences like plateaus or mesas. The largest plateau at right descends gently to the right. At lower left, an iceberg with tall, vertical sides is shown beside another at right, which is longer and has a more rectangular form and sloping top.
