A distant starboard side view, taken from well abaft the beam, of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) at anchor off the coast at Spitsbergen, Norway. The photographer is on a shore excursion from the ship and a single masted wooden ship is drawn up on shore, possibly hulked, in the centre of the picture. One of the ship's boats is heading for the shore. Snow covered mountains and two glaciers are in the background on the far side of a sea inlet.
