Two people stand on a sandy Arctic shoreline with patches of snow and rocky hills in the background. They are dressed in cold-weather clothing and matching yellow pinnies over purple outerwear. The adult wears fur-trimmed mitts and a fur-lined hood, while the child wears round sunglasses, a yellow toque and a fur-trimmed collar. Both face the camera under a clear sky in a remote northern landscape.
