Ho trascorso 4 giorni all'interno del rifugio Læknishúsið alla fine di marzo mentre una tempesta di neve infuriava all'esterno per fotografare la volpe artica. Due volpi artiche blu con cappotti marroni vagavano per la casa attratte dall'odore del cibo. Ogni volta che lo vedevo uscivo sotto la neve e sdraiato a terra aspettavo che passasse nelle vicinanze per fare qualche scatto. La volpe artica resiste a temperature fino a 50 gradi sotto zero. Il suo mantello si adatta all'ambiente: le popolazioni che vivono lungo i fiordi delle isole.
