A distant port 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, to the left of centre of the picture. A landing stage is on the right and three of the ship's boats are shuttling between the ship and the shore. Snow covered mountains and two glaciers are in the background on the far side of a sea inlet.
