The cat is submerged to well over its tracks. Another tractor is visible on the ice beyond and a towing cable is faintly visible between the two vehicles. Several wooden planks lie on the ice at left. A crosscut saw is visible leaning on the sunken cat. Faint sections of gravel and forested riverbank are visible in background.
