On board the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) off the coast at Spitsbergen, Norway. The photographer is on the starboard side of the bridge front looking forward and very slightly to port showing the top of the starboard samson post and the forecastle. A large number of passengers are lining the ship's rail as she nears the coast. A snow covered mountainous coastline and a large glacier are in the background. A vertical format negative.
