Reproduction photograph depicting two boats sitting on a beach. On the left is a small motorboat and to the right is an overturned red canoe. In the water stands a woman. The reverse of the photograph reads "A seiche at Hope Bay 1989, Moments earlier, and moments later, the 'sand bars' were under at least 30cm of water. A seiche is a type of standing wave...a long wave, usually having its crest at one end of the confined space [i.e., an inland body of water such as the Great Lakes], and its trough at the other. Its period may be anything from a few minutes to an hour or more... seiches are usually attributed to strong winds or differences in atmospheric pressure."
