A general view of a wireless or weather station on the coast at Spitsbergen, Norway. The photographer is on a shore excursion from the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) and many tourists are walking in the field in the foreground. A number of wooden single and two storey buildings and two tall lattice steel masts, presumably for wireless signal transmission and receipt, are on the shoreline. Snow covered mountains are in the background on the far side of a sea inlet.
