Polar Fox for Antony
From my recent trip to Svalbard. I was sitting up in the cliffs shooting Dovekies, when suddenly this little fellow showed up, and approached to within a few metres. I am not sure whether you call them Arctic or Polar Fox in proper english though :wink:

Taken in dull evening light.

20D + 500/4; iso800, 1/160, f6.3
