Arctic Fox at Varanger

Out on the Varanger Peninsula, where Finnmark's treeless tundra runs to the wind-scoured cliffs & open fjords of the Barents Sea, the Arctic fox finds a landscape stark enough to suit its far-northern habits. This is remote territory, well above the Arctic Circle, & photographers joining the Winter Wildlife of Arctic Varanger holiday should come prepared for exposed coastal conditions & long, patient waits. April is the month to visit, when the tundra light & lingering winter conditions offer the best chance of an encounter. Patience & warm layers are essential companions here, as much as your camera gear.
