On board the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) at Spitsbergen, Norway. The photographer is at the rear of the bridge to starboard of the centre line looking aft showing the starboard boat deck and the second funnel. The ship is probably in Isfjorden. A cargo ship, seen from just ahead of her port beam, is at anchor in ballast and she appears to have an ice-breaking bow. She is single funneled, about 2000 tons, has four holds, twin derricks on her short forecastle and short poop and goalpost masts immediately before and abaft her central superstructure. Snow covered land is in the background. Negatives numbers P95238, P95243 and P95255 are in the same location.
