On the Hellnar to Arnarstapi coastal walk in Iceland I nearly tripped over a fox. We were both trying to get close to nesting sea birds on coastal cliffs.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Notice the fur is turning dark and falling out, the better for summer hunting.
… Iceland Arctic Fox, Vulpes lagopus fuliginosus …
There are only an estimated 2000 animals on the island, yet I managed to see 3 of them in 4 days. hmm …
If you want to know more, check out the new Arctic Fox Center (Icelandic: Melrakkasetur) researching the beasts.


What a cutie! 🙂
Thanks for sharing. Really great capture and interesting to see the arctic fox in mid coat change.
