About This Book

The narrative recounts a summer voyage along the northeastern coast of British North America undertaken to observe and sketch icebergs, blending close visual studies of berg forms, color, and light with practical accounts of boat work, weather, and the painter's methods. Along coastal routes the author documents harbor towns, fishing communities, encounters with missionaries and indigenous visitors, marine life, and local customs, interspersing anecdotes of storms, wrecks, and onshore rambles. Chapters mix natural-history notes, landscape description, and reflections on the challenges and rewards of rendering Arctic seascapes.
