The third seal, R, isn't located next to the other two. Jump back over the gap, and look for a water geyser on your left.

Throw your axe at the base of the water to freeze. Next, press circle to propel yourself toward the grapple point using your chain and climb up. When at the top, look to your left, and you'll see a tree. To the right of the tree is the third and final seal, R.

With all three seals destroyed, take the shortcut to the left of the tree, open the chest, and claim the spoils of an Idunn Apple.
