A scene with a man on skis beside a dog sledge, huts and a smoking volcano in the background. It was one of twelve plates in his 'Views in the South Seas', drawn, etched and originally published separately 1788-92 by John Webber, draughtsman on Cook's Third Voyage. Boydell reissued the Views (with four new plates) with plates dated 1809, but Abbey's example has Whatman watermarks dated 1820.
