content: Seascape sketch showing three views of icebergs off the coast of Greenspond in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. At left, a uniquely-shaped icberg features an arch that tunnels through the ice, as well as a twisting, tapering, seemingly serrated spire in front. In the background behind this berg, a ship travels along the flat oceanic horizon at right. In the upper and lower right corners, two other, distant icebergs are also sketched.
