Dense Caption

A low-resolution pixel art image shows a light gray polar bear sitting on white snow. The bear has black eyes and nose, positioned slightly left of center. To the right of the bear is solid bright cyan background. Two instances of the word 'ice' appear: one above the lower text block in dark blue pixel font, another below it. A third instance of 'BABY' appears to the right of the lower 'ice', also in dark blue pixel font. The image has visible dithering and compression artifacts typical of early digital graphics.
