Arctic Fox, Hudson Bay, Canada, 2004

Photo: Arctic fox on a ridge

A stealthy arctic fox steals across a snow-patched ridge in Canada's Hudson Bay. Not much larger than a big housecat, these seemingly delicate northern mammals are as hardy as they come, thriving in the privation and bitter cold of the Arctic north.
