The painting was created as part of Alexander's illustrations for George Vancouver's "A Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean" showcasing his talent for capturing nature's grandeur. In this particular scene, two ships, namely the Discovery and Chatham, are depicted against a backdrop of towering mountains and a glistening glacier.
