The Arctic Fox in Iceland
Melrakkinn
The arctic fox is a circumpolar species, but in Iceland the conditions are different from most of the other habitats of the species, due to the absence of lemmings. This film deals with research done on the ecology and behaviour of arctic foxes in a remote coastal region of north-western Iceland. The work of a scientist, studying the arctic fox under harsh conditions during both winter and summer, is observed, as well as the lives of the arctic foxes in this special environment.
