About this subject

A black-and-white photograph shows two figures in heavy fur parkas on a snow-covered ice field. One sits beside a wooden sled or frame, holding a fishing line attached to a pole; the other lies on the ice. Buildings are visible in the distant background. Printed caption at bottom reads 'TOM COD FISHING IN ALASKA.'
