[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
An Arctic fox, partway through its transition from white to dark gray, forages for grubs and caterpillars on the west Greenland tundra. It has been a cool Spring, but the insects that make up a large portion of these foxes' diets are already busy.
Photo was taken about 10 km West of the edge of the inland ice in a glacial carved valley situated just North of the Arctic circle. The nearest town is Kangerlussuaq, about 35 km to the SW. |

Hi Jeff,
Great colours and prospectives in this one. The foxes eye manages to pop out of it's surroundings, giving this fox such a unique character. Sneaky little bugger.
