| Note: | Artist's note beneath: 'The foreground is in bosses of minute leaved verdure. It is a mile and half from boulder to glaciers. A trench bare of herbage is worn round boulders by tracks of musk oxen. A river course runs from glaciers through the valley. The flat space beyond the river should look wider than that on this side, valley is about 1/2 mile wide'. See E.L.Moss: 'Shores of the Polar sea' London, Marcus Ward and Co. 1878 p.18 |
