Broken fragments of sea ice create clutter a barren, rocky shoreline in Hokkaido. A trio of birds wheel in the sky over the cold ocean; beyond, more sea ice forms a snowy white horizon in the distance. The sky above is pale blue, streaked with a few streaky, wind-whipped clouds.

The sky above is pale blue, streaked with a few distant wind-whipped clouds.
