Iceland. The nonprofit research institution and exhibition center was set up in 2007 by a group of enthusiasts and scientists to collect all kinds of information about the animal. Located inside a renovated farmstead (one of the oldest buildings in the area), it offers an exhibition that explains that the arctic fox probably arrived in Iceland via ice floes from Greenland, is larger than the European fox, and has a distinctive dark blue summer coat that turns white in winter. The venue also has an on-site café and a couple of orphaned foxes in the backyard.">
Ísafjörður声称这里是冰岛唯一的本土陆地哺乳动物——北极狐的家园。这一地区的大多数北极狐都生活在Ísafjörður中心西北14公里(9英里)的霍恩斯特兰迪尔自然保护区,但如果你有一副双筒望远镜,再加上运气好,在海岸线的其他地方发现它们也不是闻所未闻。通常有成群的狐狸在窝里,还有几只单独的狐狸在附近游荡。北极狐有着明显厚实的白色皮毛,这使它能够抵御寒冷。
