Come Face-to-Face With an Adorable Arctic Fox
December 20, 2017—An arctic fox climbed over a mound of kelp to join Dave Briggs of the tour company Arctic Kingdom. During a six-week season, three arctic foxes visited the camp near the Hudson Bay Coast in Nunavut, Canada. Wary at first, they came dusk and before dawn. But one, nicknamed "Spot" for a patch on its hind quarter, became bold, and would approach people outside the camp. The veteran tour leader has rarely had a fox approach so close, saying the experience is "magical and fills me with joy."
