Goes ashore in South Africa to get the picture (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

landscape

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the picture' is the definition.
(landscape is a kind of picture)

'goes ashore in south africa to get' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'south' could be 's' (synonyms) and 's' is present in the answer.
'get' could be 'land' (landing is a kind of getting) and 'land' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'cape' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for landscape that I've seen before include "Picture showing countryside" , "Expanse of scenery" , "Outdoor painting" , "Possible prospect" , "Art of laying out scenic grounds" .)
